Kilnhanger is a distinctive hilltop home high above Haslemere on Marley Heights, with views across the South Downs. Clouds drift past the balcony, and walking trails begin at the door — the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and explore. Set over three light-filled floors, this spacious, quirky retreat suits families, walkers, and visitors to Goodwood or Cowdray Park. Sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably.

The space
Marley Heights is a peaceful hilltop community in Kingsley Green, and Kilnhanger sits proudly at its very top. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views and easy access to countryside walks, with shops and local facilities in Fernhurst, Wey Hill, Haslemere, Petworth, and Midhurst all just a short drive away.

Set across three spacious floors, Kilnhanger comfortably accommodates up to ten guests and offers flexibility for families and friends alike.

At its heart is a large extending dining table that seats up to ten guests. The leaves are stored within the table for easy adjustment. Six chairs are always in place, with extra seating available on the balcony and throughout the house depending on your group size.

🛋 Living Spaces

The sitting room features two three-seater sofas and one two-seater, offering plenty of comfortable seating. The fireplace is decorative only (not in use).

A 50” Smart TV and soft lighting create a relaxing atmosphere, while two sets of sliding doors lead to the balcony — perfect for morning coffee, reading, dining, or simply soaking up the panoramic views.

🌿 Outdoors & Garden

The balcony overlooks a spacious garden — ideal for children and dogs to play. Please note: while the front gates can be closed to the drive, the garden is not fully dog-proof and opens to neighbouring woodland and fields.

It’s a large, natural space with plenty of freedom to explore, and we welcome dogs with open arms.

🌤 A Warm Welcome

Upstairs or down, every bedroom includes a chair or sofa for quiet moments, and there is Wi-Fi throughout the house.

We look forward to welcoming you to our house in the clouds, where the views from inside and out make every stay unforgettable.

Guest access
Guests have access to all areas of the house, including the balcony, garden, and lower-ground annex. A couple of storage cupboards will be locked for housekeeping and maintenance supplies, but otherwise the entire property is yours to enjoy throughout your stay.

Other things to note
Marley Heights is perfectly positioned for exploring the South Downs, the Arts and Crafts movement, and the beautiful Sussex countryside and coast. It’s a short, scenic drive to the historic city of Chichester and seaside towns including East Wittering, Selsey, Bognor Regis, Ferring, and Lancing.

Enjoy a day at the Goodwood races or Cowdray Park Polo Club, both within easy reach, or simply explore the many local walks, gardens, and galleries nearby.
