About this property
Charming detached cottage in peaceful, rural setting with woodland & ponds
This pretty, former chauffeur’s, cottage is set well away from the lane, situated between High Hurstwood and Buxted in an area designated of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the grounds of owners’ home overlooking fields and adjacent to an unfenced pond stocked with course fish which is home to a variety of local wildlife. Four steps lead up to the front door and on the ground floor the spacious accommodation consists of a hallway with a cosy living room leading off and an open fire, overlooking the pond and garden. A double bedroom with views of the garden and a family bathroom with overhead shower. There is a farmhouse style, well-equipped kitchen with separate dining area and a further single bedroom with basin. Both these rooms have excellent views over the pond. The first floor consists of a landing with hanging cupboard, a good sized single bedroom overlooking both the garden and pond and a large twin bedded (which can be made into a double bed) room with views of the gardens and an en-suite bathroom.
There is ample parking for two cars and the spacious private garden is equipped with garden benches, tables, chairs, sun loungers and a barbecue. There is a further pond on the far side of the lane from the house surrounded by a bluebell wood and fields, all within the owners’ grounds
Other amenities include:
Full oil central heating, kindling and coal for the fire, books and games, unlimited fibre-optic broadband , TV, DVD player, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer, cafetiere, microwave, charcoal BBQ, all towels and bed linen, a high chair, stair gate and cot (available on request) and a welcome pack with local seasonal fare.
All children must be supervised in the garden with the unfenced pond. Course fishing is available on request.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Diana Brennan
We have lived here since 1975 and enjoyed living in such beautiful surroundings which we enjoy sharing with and describing to our guests. Because we live on the property we are normally available to give any helpful tourist advice and ensure the smooth running of the cottage.
Why they chose this property
This property is situated in the heart of the AONB of the Sussex Weald which in Roman and Tudor times was the main iron producing region in Britain. The iron ore was used, amongst other things, to make canon ball to help fend off the Spanish Armada. We have a hammer pond dating back to this period and the remains of the bloomery and other workings of this industry can still be found nearby.
What makes this property unique
The main house is Arts and Crafts, and the cottage is approached through the archway of this house and is situated at the end of the drive in front of a paddock and next to a large unfenced pond well away from the road, surrounded by the beautiful and unspoilt Sussex countryside. On the opposite side of the lane is another pond, woodland and fields included in the grounds.
