Cowfold sits right on the A272/A281 crossroads — and our managed storage comes to you. We collect, load & seal your things, store them safely at our Ashington warehouse, from just £21 a week for storage and insurance; we quote collection and redelivery separately, upfront.

Weekly storage prices for Cowfold — insurance included, no deposit.
We’ll show exactly how full your container is — no rounding up.
Cowfold sits right at the A272/A281 crossroads in the RH13 postcode, midway between Horsham and Henfield — and that rural setting is exactly why our managed model suits the village so well. So rather than loading a van and driving your own boxes out to a unit, we come to you. Our team arrives at your door, wraps and loads your belongings, then seals them into our own wooden containers. See exactly how it works before you commit to anything.
From the period cottages near St Peter’s Church to the larger family homes scattered out towards St Hugh’s Charterhouse, Cowfold properties often need flexible space without the hassle of a hire van. We load your sealed containers and drive them the short distance to our alarmed warehouse near Ashington (RH20), where they stay dry, secure and under 24/7 CCTV. Our simple weekly pricing starts at just £21 a week with no deposit, and collection and redelivery are priced separately, agreed with you before the job begins.
Cowfold's village scale — under two thousand people gathered around one crossroads — suits our fully managed, fully insured storage well, at £21 a week, with collection priced separately and upfront. The crew wraps and packs your belongings into a private wooden container at your door, then drives it to sit alarmed inside the Ashington warehouse.
There’s a drive-up storage yard in the village already, but Wolves does it in reverse — a full-size wooden container is assembled and sealed right where you live, and nobody but the crew ever touches it. Once it’s closed up, it moves directly into our alarmed Ashington warehouse instead of sitting on a rented plot nearby.
Learn moreWhether a Cowfold sale is still working through solicitors or a farmhouse clearance drags on past the date first pencilled in, the weekly charge doesn’t move — it just keeps ticking over, month after month if that’s what it takes, with nothing to renew and no fresh contract to sign.
Learn moreA few weeks bridging a completion date near the crossroads, or a short gap while a period cottage changes hands, costs no differently per week than a stay that runs on for months — nothing extra added for keeping it short, and no minimum term either way.
Learn moreTraders and small businesses based in and around Cowfold turn a container into stockroom or archive space on demand — filled containers are billed, empty capacity isn’t, which beats leasing a fixed unit that mostly sits half-empty.
Learn moreFurniture carried out of a Conservation Area cottage near St Peter’s, or out of a farm building beyond Bolney, gets padded and wrapped by the same crew that loads it, piece by piece — never something you’re left to lift, carry or stack alone.
Learn moreBlankets already travel on the van, so the crew can wrap and protect your furniture before the container is built and loaded at your Cowfold door — you pack your own boxes by default, or our crew can pack your belongings as a paid add-on.

Cowfold is a working rural village, so the storage needs here are rarely one-size-fits-all. We help homeowners clearing rooms for a renovation, families downsizing from the bigger properties off the A281, and people moving between rentals while they search for the right place near Horsham. Because we wrap and store everything in our own containers, your furniture stays protected from dust and damp far better than it would in an open drive-up unit.
We also work with Cowfold’s tradespeople and the smallholdings dotted along the lanes towards Bolney and Lower Beeding. Whether you need to store seasonal stock, archived paperwork, or tools and equipment between jobs, you only pay for the containers you actually use, and you can add or release space as your needs change — ideal for the seasonal rhythm of village life and farm work around the crossroads.
Honest, simple pricing — from just £21 a week for storage and insurance, with collection and redelivery quoted separately upfront, in Cowfold, fully insured, with no deposit. Need more room? We simply add another container, so you only pay for the space you use.

Get Your QuoteCowfold isn’t short of an alternative — the village has a real drive-up self-storage yard you load yourself, no staff needed to hand you a key. What the table below actually compares isn’t whether a facility exists nearby; it’s who ends up doing the carrying. Book a slot, drive the car over and heave every box into a padlocked unit on your own, or stay on your own doorstep while the crew builds, loads and seals a container for you instead.
| Wolves — managed storage | A self-storage unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting there | Our van comes to your RH13 door along the same lanes that cross at the roundabout, with nothing for you to find or arrange. | Load up the car, drive it over to the yard, and repeat the whole return trip once everything is stored. |
| Loading the container | Packing, wrapping and carrying are all done for you, box by box, piece by piece. | You carry, lift and stack everything into the unit yourself, rain or shine, however cold the yard gets that morning. |
| Packing materials | Protective blankets are already loaded on our van, so the crew wraps your furniture for transit and does all the loading — you fill your own boxes, unless you add our optional packing service. | You still need to buy or borrow tape, blankets and boxes of your own, and get the lot to the yard before loading can start. |
| What you pay | One flat, published £21 a week for the storage itself, no deposit and no hidden storage add-ons — collection is quoted upfront as its own separate figure. | Rates and offers vary by unit size and promotion, with a deposit typically asked for first. |
| Rural lane & farm access | Our driver has worked the tight turns off the A272/A281 crossroads and the farm tracks beyond it many times before. | A padlocked unit is no help with a narrow farm lane — reaching it and getting back out again is down to you, not us. |
| Getting it back | One phone call brings it home — the container is unloaded outside your door inside a day, job done, nothing more to organise. | Drive back to the yard, unload your own unit, then load the car again for the trip home. |
| Insurance while moving | Cover on the contents starts as the first box is carried out, long before any lid goes on the container. | Insurance at a drop-off yard typically only begins once your unit’s padlocked shut, not for the journey getting there. |
A Cowfold move rarely maps neatly onto square footage, so count bedrooms instead of floor area. Each wooden container tops out at 250 cu ft (roughly 5ft × 7ft × 8.6ft) — enough for a one-bedroom flat cleared out in full — so treat the rows below as a rough steer only; the crew will confirm exactly how many are needed once they’re stood in the house doing the loading.
| Your home | Containers you’ll need | From |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom flat | one container | from £21/week |
| Two-bedroom home | around two containers | from £42/week |
| Three-bedroom home | around three containers | from £63/week |
| Four-bedroom-plus home, farmhouse or business | four or more containers | from £79/week |
One or two containers usually cover a cottage by the Cowfold crossroads; a working farm or smallholding emptying sheds and stables alongside the house runs to several more — either way, the bill only counts what actually leaves in a container on the day, nothing else. Table prices cover storage and insurance; collection & redelivery are quoted separately, upfront.
Local, managed and genuinely cared for — why local homes and businesses choose us.
Cover on your belongings begins the instant the crew arrives at your RH13 doorstep — cottage near the crossroads or smallholding out past the Charterhouse, it makes no odds — and it runs uninterrupted through every alarmed, CCTV-watched night at Ashington, right up until the container comes back outside your door.
LAPADA accreditation and Checkatrade verification stay live because both are renewed on schedule, not left to lapse quietly — the same checks apply whether the job is a cottage by the Nelond brass or a smallholding out past Bolney. The family firm started in 2016, and the years since have taught the crew which lanes around this crossroads corner of RH13 take a smaller van, and which farm gates are worth a call ahead.
One container, one flat £21 a week — nothing is taken upfront, and your insurance is folded into that same figure rather than billed separately. A chain that slips past completion, or a farmhouse clear-out that runs longer than first quoted, doesn’t move the number.
Cowfold’s own drive-up yard expects you to load and unload the unit yourself; ours flips that arrangement entirely — the crew handles the loading, the wrapping and the carrying on your doorstep, and the only thing you have to do is point at what’s going.
St Hugh’s Charterhouse at Parkminster, just outside the village, has stood as the only post-Reformation Carthusian monastery in the United Kingdom since it was built between 1876 and 1883 — a genuinely rare piece of history for a village of under two thousand people gathered around a single mini-roundabout where the A272 meets the A281. St Peter’s Church, a short walk from that crossroads, holds its own remarkable relic: the Nelond brass, moved here from Lewes Priory after the Dissolution and still counted among the finest monumental brasses in the country.
A full private container, collected and packed at your door, is a genuinely different offer from either option already out there — the drive-up yard in the village, where you load your own unit, or a national box-collection van that only takes a handful of boxes at a time. We cover the crossroads village itself, plus Bolney along the A272, Lower Beeding up the A281 and Nuthurst close by, running everything back to our alarmed Ashington warehouse a short drive south-west — see Henfield, Partridge Green or Horsham for coverage a little further out.
St Peter’s Church at the heart of Cowfold is known to historians for the great medieval Nelond brass — one of the finest monumental brasses in England — a reminder of how much history sits in this quiet corner of RH13, and it’s exactly the settled, rural setting our managed storage was built for. There’s no unit of ours for you to drive to or load yourself — our team comes to your Cowfold door, pads and wraps each piece, then carries it all into your own private wooden container, sealed on the spot. Take a look at our full range of storage solutions to see which suits your move, renovation or clear-out best.
The village sits among working farms, smallholdings and stables, and we help households along the surrounding lanes just as easily as families in the older cottages at its heart. Whether you’re downsizing, mid-renovation, or simply need equestrian kit, tools or seasonal furniture out of the way — for just a few weeks or the longer term — your furniture stays properly protected in our sealed containers rather than sitting in a draughty barn or open unit.
Our warehouse base is a short, straightforward drive south-west at Ashington (RH20 3JT) — dry, alarmed and under 24/7 CCTV, covering Cowfold and the villages around it with the same easy service. Storage starts from just £21 a week with no deposit, and once you’re ready for everything back, we just need 24 hours’ notice to redeliver.
We handle the heavy lifting, literally — here’s how storing with us works.
Farmhouse clearances, cottage renovations that run past their date, and chains stuck at a crossroads village with no storage of its own — Cowfold’s work goes into one insured container at £21 a week, the collection quoted separately.
Moving out of one of Cowfold’s older cottages within the Conservation Area rarely means everything fits into a smaller next address — dressers, wardrobes and boxes built up over years still need somewhere to go. A container simply holds the overflow, billed at one flat weekly rate, for however many weeks it genuinely takes to settle the smaller home’s final layout, before any of it needs to come back out.
Cowfold sits among working farms and smallholdings, and clearing a stable, barn or outbuilding often turns up more than a single trip can carry — tack, tools, machinery and furniture stored wherever there was once room. One visit is enough — the crew fills, seals and logs each container the job calls for, item by item, rather than everything tipped loose into a trailer.
When a Cowfold completion date slips ahead of the next one, there’s rarely anywhere sensible to put a house’s worth of belongings in the meantime. A container is collected, sealed and held on the usual weekly terms for the whole stretch between the two dates, then it’s back at your door within a day of your asking.
A renovation on an older Cowfold home inside the Conservation Area often runs longer than expected, once permissions and sympathetic materials are factored in — every extra week a room needs clearing is only ever billed as an extra week, never a fixed contract signed in advance. Furniture and boxes stay dry and sealed away for as long as the project actually takes.
We Cover Cowfold and the RH13 crossroads. Our Ashington warehouse is a short run south-west — around 8 miles, roughly 15 minutes — so a Cowfold collection is one of the closer jobs on our patch, not a long haul. That's still the crew's drive to make, both ways: out along the A272/A281 to load your container, then straight back down the same road on redelivery day. You never touch the wheel.
We collect right across RH13 — Cowfold itself, from the cottages by the crossroads out to the farms and smallholdings, and on to Bolney, Lower Beeding and Nuthurst. The crew does the driving and the lifting, so nothing of yours needs loading into a van or hauled off to a unit — share your postcode when you enquire and we load, seal, store and redeliver across West Sussex on 24 hours’ notice.

Managed vs self-storage

The questions West Sussex customers ask us most.
Yes. Cowfold sits at the A272/A281 crossroads in RH13, and we collect right across the village — from the cottages by the crossroads to the farms and smallholdings out towards Bolney, Lower Beeding and Nuthurst — before storing everything at our Ashington warehouse a short drive south-west.
We’re a fully managed alternative rather than a drive-up unit — you never need to load a van or visit a yard yourself. Our team comes to your Cowfold door, wraps your furniture in blankets, loads and seals everything into your own wooden container, and stores it at our alarmed Ashington warehouse until you want it back.
From £21 a week per container, with no deposit and no hidden fees. Whether you’re in a period cottage near St Peter’s Church or a farmhouse out towards the crossroads, collection and redelivery anywhere in RH13 are a stand-alone charge, quoted in advance based on volume and distance.
Each private wooden container is 250 cu ft (5ft × 7ft × 8.6ft). For the bigger farmhouses and smallholdings here we simply use several containers side by side — useful for tack, tools and machinery as well as furniture — so you only ever pay for the space you fill.
Yes — we regularly collect from the quieter lanes around St Hugh’s Charterhouse and towards Bolney, not just the village centre. Distance from the green doesn’t change our service: the same team loads, wraps and seals your belongings at your door, wherever in the Cowfold area you are.
Usually within a few days. It’s a short, straightforward drive from our Ashington warehouse, so we can normally fit a collection around your moving or renovation timetable — call 01903 893731 or request a free quote and we’ll confirm a slot.
