About this property
2 bedroom accommodation in Herstmonceux, near Hailsham
Surrounded by fields, this holiday property is set in a peaceful location and is an ideal base for exploring Sussex.. 4 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: 65" Freeview Smart TV, CD Player, Woodburner, French Doors To Terrcae.
Kitchen: Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washer Dryer
Separate Toilet.
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds Ensuite: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. Air source heat pump underfloor central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for wood burner provided, remainder available locally. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack. Terrace with sitting-out area and garden furniture. 37½-acre grounds with orchard (shared). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: Couples and family bookings only. There is an unfenced pond in the grounds, 50 yards.. What a treat! This meticulous, detached barn conversion, originally built in the 1800’s, is set within the owner’s 37½ acres of lush greenery. You’ll have sole use of the orchard area, and will be surrounded by fields of sheep, geese, ducks and chickens. Chilsham Barn has been renovated to a remarkable standard, with travertine marble floor and eye-catching, exposed timber framework throughout. This property is filled with character and oozes charm, but also provides guests with fresh features to create a home from home feel. Boasting traditional features combined with a contemporary design, it creates something quite magnificent.
Natural light floods the open plan living/dining room through the floor-to-ceiling, full length windows. As the sun sets, and it becomes dark outside, the large chandelier will create a cushy ambience throughout. The property is equipped with underfloor heating and a wood burner to keep you toasty even in the bitter winter. With a stylish, out-of-the-way kitchen, you’ll have a perfect setting to put your culinary skills the test and cook up a delight. When snuggled up on the sofa, you can enjoy a mug of hot chocolate and a family film on the 65” Freeview TV with Netflix.
Once you’re ready to call it a night, let the impressive, open-tread, oak stairs lead you up to the bright, galleried landing. When upstairs, you’ll discover two beautifully, minimalistic bedrooms, with high vaulted ceilings, that sing of a blissful night’s sleep. Enjoy ultimate peace and quiet in the tasteful en-suite bathrooms, with contemporary furnishings.
In the summer months, the outdoor seating area is perfect for you to enjoy a morning coffee, or an al fresco evening meal. You can sit out and watch the children play in the large grassed area, whilst you take in the beautiful, far-reaching views. Chilsham Barn is a property you don’t want to miss, it is nothing short of remarkable!
Please note: There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.
