About this property
Woodpeckers Cottage - One bedroom luxurious and Contemporary rural retreat
Woodpeckers is a contemporary boutique style detached cottage with a spacious, light, open plan living area, luxurious bathroom and a beautiful bedroom. You’ll find good quality soft furnishings with decorations in Farrow and Ball colours and granite worktops to the well-fitted kitchen. The comfy sitting area has a Smart TV with Netflix, DVD player and WiFi. There is central heating throughout.
The accommodation is designed to an exceptionally high standard in a rural, tranquil setting. Fresh flowers and a few basics await your arrival.
The entrance door leads from a porch into an open plan sitting/dining room featuring a contemporary wood burning stove made up with logs ready to light, ensuring you are cosy throughout your stay during cooler days!
The fully equipped, open plan kitchen leads off the dining area, it has a Neff electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge with 4* ice box and dishwasher. The utility cupboard has a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board.
The bedroom features a luxurious king size bed with quality linen. This leads to a large en suite bathroom with walk in shower having two-shower head options, large double-ended bath and plenty of storage within the hand made vanity unit and a heated towel rail with cotton towels.
Woodpeckers enjoys its own landscaped courtyard garden with outdoor furniture and gas BBQ (during the warmer weather).
There are country walks from the door onto a bridleway and the nearby Ashdown Forest (2,396 hectares). This cottage is in the gardens of an old coach house, which once formed part of a larger estate; therefore it has the benefit of a shared private tennis court and small fitness room. Guests are welcome to use these at their own risk. For further information please contact the owner direct.
Whilst we love dogs, we do not have pets to stay. Nor do we have smoking anywhere within the cottage.
There is a detached two bedroom cottage close by, ideal for family groups and friends wanting independent accommodation. See Deerkeepers Cottage.

About the area
East Grinstead
Located in East Grinstead, this cottage is in a rural area and on a lake. Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club and Haywards Heath Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore South Downs National Park and Forest Way Country Park. Standen House and Garden and Bluebell Railway - East Grinstead Station are also worth visiting. Fishing and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and mountain biking nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Angie Ward
I was bought up on a farm so enjoy all aspects of rural life. I originally had a career in London, but when I was expecting our first child wanted to move back to the countryside to give the family the space and freedom of rural life. I also enjoy hacking around the Forest on my dear old horse, Fred!
Why they chose this property
The nearby Ashdown Forest abounds with wildlife and yet it is still very accessible to towns such as Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and nearby Three Bridges station for a fast train journey to London! The more leisurely travellers could take a train from East Grinstead to London or better still a steam train to Sheffield Park!
What makes this property unique
On a clear day there are views of the South Downs from the property and upon exiting the drive you will see the North Downs. The 6000 acres of Ashdown Forest is stunning, there are so many lovely walks, bird watching hides, areas for cycling. There are also many gorgeous historical gardens and National Trust houses within easy reach.
