Accessible Cottage in Herstmonceux

Perfect for families of all ages, this delightful cottage sits in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Beauty. Located on the owners' farm, within walking distance of the pub at Bodle Street Green (150 metres), it’s the most wonderfully quiet location with a pond right outside your front door home to many resident ducks. The property is ideally placed for entertaining the children at the Herstmonceux Science Centre (3.5 miles) or Drusillas Park (12 miles) and not far from Bedgebury Pinetum (15 miles) with its Go Ape tree top walk. The area is known as 1066 Country, and the historic town of Battle (9 miles) is home to an abbey and the battlefield where the infamous Battle of Hastings took place. For a day out at the seaside, visit the Victorian seaside town of Hastings (14 miles) with its RIBA architectural awarding-winning pier and historic 'old town' where a working fishing fleet still lands their catch today. Neighbouring St Leonards has become a trendy hotspot with many independent shops, restaurants and bars to explore.

This is a home full of character with chunky exposed beams and wooden furniture adding to the country cottage feel. Entering the ground-floor open-plan living space, you are greeted by a lovely double-height room with cosy underfloor heating. The lounge area has lovely, comfy seating, a TV, and glass patio doors opening to the front of the property. The well-equipped kitchen/diner comes complete with everything needed to feed the family at home. There are two inviting bedrooms on the ground floor, one with a king-size bed and a wet room adjacent, the other with twin beds and a en-suite wet room. Upstairs is another twin room which comes with its own stylish en-suite shower room.

Outside, access between the car and the house is completely flat. There is a paved area to the front of the barn with its own outdoor seating from which to watch the wildlife on the pond and enjoy the countryside views beyond.
