About this property

Rural Retreat in deepest Sussex

Situated in the shadow of the South Downs National Park on a small rural road with hardly any neighbours our charming cottage is a great place from which to explore the unspoiled open countryside and its many footpaths around us. The nearest street light is two miles away. Owls,deer and the occasional nightingale are the only sounds in the middle of the night
The cottage is newly finished in 2021 and décor is fresh and modern with plenty of parking and a small decking area.

This is a quiet cottage . Rooms are light and spacious with a modern kitchen/dining room that provides for sociable cooking and dining (seats 4-6). and patio doors that open onto the garden. The reception room is separate, both with digital TV (so the kids can escape!) and good but limited wifi. No fibre cable out here . Efficient central heating means the house is warm in winter but its also well ventilated and cool in summer.There is an upstairs loo and bathroom with large shower downstairs.
2 bedrooms are available; one double- bedded and 2 singles and there is also a brand new double sofa bed in the lounge. The small patio is secluded, fully fenced, and child/pet friendly and great for drinks on a summer evening: count how many species of bird you can hear !. The darkness allows you to watch an impressive array stars on a clear evening and the quiet off street location means a peaceful night's sleep is guaranteed. We are near a rail line but trains are infrequent and soon pass by .Please note we have a cat and small dog so any pets must be under your control outside. Dogs by agreement only.

Hübsches Häuschen
Hübsches, kleines Häuschen in der Nature. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ansich in guter Lage. Mit dem Auto leicht zu erreichen. Der nächste Bahnhof ist mit dem Auto 5 min weg. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ca.10 min. Wir empfehlen es gerne weiter.

Spring visit
Warm, cosy and peaceful. Everything we needed. There is a railway line by the property but it didn't spoil the peace. The spring dawn chorus was wondrous. Apparently nightingales sing here too, but is was too early for them. Plenty of places to eat in the area, and not far from the coast. Great place to stay.
