Store your coats and shoes in the hallway before stepping into the heart of the property—the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, boasting breathtaking countryside views. Catch up on your favourite shows with the Smart TV, or enjoy family meals at the spacious dining table while your furry friends snooze in the warmth of the wood burner.

Situated across from the village pub, you'll be surrounded by rolling hills, lush woodlands, and stunning landscapes for walkies to remember. Immerse yourself in nature with nearby adventures in Ashdown Forest, the inspiration behind A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh tales. Enjoy leisurely strolls and bike rides along forest trails with Rover by your side.
