Nestled in the East Sussex countryside, this two-level cottage is a wonderful escape for families and their four-legged companions. Set close to the owners’ Grade II-listed home and alongside three other holiday cottages, this home is bursting with character, creating excellent base for roaming the surrounding area.
Step through the stable-style front door into a warm, inviting interior, where stone floors, exposed beams, and a wood burner create a cosy, farmhouse ambience. The open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area is the heart of the home for gathering the family while your pup lounges nearby. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals or packing picnic treats for rural adventures. Sink into the comfortable sofas, pop a log in the wood burner, and catch up on a family movie in the evening. Meals can be shared around the large wooden dining table, with plenty of room to plan the next day's walks and outings. A ground-floor bathroom with a shower over the bath completes this level. Upstairs, two bedrooms await: a double and a twin tucked into the eaves, both with charming sloping ceilings. Outside, the cottage benefits from a secluded shared garden at the rear, with a patio, table, and chairs – a tranquil spot for breakfast or an evening drink while watching your pup explore. The front garden is fully enclosed, giving children and canine companions a safe area to roam and play. Private parking for one car rounds off the package.
A mile away, the village of Ashburnham is perfect for a stroll around Ashburnham Place, followed by a stop at the village’s pet-friendly pub. Herstmonceux Castle Estate and Garden, 3.5 miles away, boasts over 600 acres of woodland and formal gardens to roam with your canine companion in tow. For seaside days, St Leonards (14 miles) offers beaches with year-round zones for hounds to bound as well as a thriving food and arts scene.
