Our Story

A transformative restoration project designed to be enjoyed

Intentional eco-conscious comfort by design

A luxury holiday home. A contemporary event and collaboration space. A wellness retreat in the stunning South Downs. Whatever you need from it, The Grain Store provides.

The Grain Store is the culmination of several years’ work and vision: our dream was to create a rural retreat for those wishing to escape and reconnect.

Working closely with Gavin from GM Build, Lewes, his exceptional design skills and craftsmanship have been instrumental to the project.

Purposely keeping the original concrete frame of The Grain Store visible, you see it echoed in the polished concrete flooring of the ground floor. The cedar-clad exterior and south-facing picture windows complete this striking modern conversion.

A place to relax, naturally.

As a sustainable business and eco-friendly holiday home, we’re committed to using, where possible, green sources of energy. So, we’ve installed an air source heat pump, solar panels and underfloor heating. By providing a charging point for electric vehicles, recycling facilities, and eco-friendly products to use at The Grain Store, we aim to minimise the environmental impact.

Created to be calming, comfortable, and cosy to induce relaxation and wellbeing, this is the ultimate wellness retreat. A complete getaway. Thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship are combined with attention to detail and high quality furnishings in every room.

  • Simple, beautiful and functional

    “I wanted to share my thoughts on what ‘luxury’ means. My ethos is that simple, beautiful and functional is best. I look forward to welcoming you.”
