Charming Cottage Retreat with Garden in Historic Old Town, Eastbourne

Welcome to Pear Tree Cottage, a beautifully presented two bedroom home tucked away in the quiet and historic heart of Ocklynge in Old Town, Eastbourne. Blending traditional charm with modern comfort, it’s the perfect retreat for couples, families, or friends looking to relax and explore all that Eastbourne and the South Downs have to offer.

Inside, you’ll find a cosy living room with two comfortable sofas, a TV, and a dining area, ideal for unwinding after a day out. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need: oven, hob, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and all essential cookware.

Upstairs, there are two inviting bedrooms. One with a double bed and the second with two single beds, providing flexibility for families or small groups. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and fresh towels for your stay.

Step outside into the private rear garden, a peaceful space with a table and chairs where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine surrounded by greenery.

Pear Tree Cottage is ideally located in Old Town, just a short walk from some of Eastbourne’s best pubs. The Lamb, The Rainbow, and The Crown are all within 5–10 minutes. Waitrose is just as close for convenient shopping.

Nearby, you’ll also find Gildredge Park, the Towner Art Gallery, and stunning walks along The Seven Sisters, Birling Gap, and South Downs National Park.

The number 12 bus stop is minutes away and takes you across the South Downs, offering spectacular coastal views all the way to Brighton.

A pleasant 15-minute walk from the cottage brings you to Eastbourne Town Centre, with its independent shops in Little Chelsea and the Enterprise Centre. Here you’ll also find the train station, with frequent services to London Victoria.

Lovely cottage full of character. Lots of thoughtful touches such as shower gel, shampoo and kitchen essentials and the owner responded promptly to all our queries. The garden was an added bonus in the hot weather. Only two minor criticisms - firstly it wasn’t clear from the description that the bathroom (and therefore the only toilet) were on the ground floor. Secondly it wasn’t possible to close the door to the second bedroom as one of the beds is in the way. Overall we enjoyed our brief stay and would recommend the cottage.
