Situated on a property that was once a school, this holiday home is perfect for a couple or solo traveller to explore Ashdown Forest and the Sussex countryside. Famed as the home of Winnie the Pooh, the 6,500 acres of heathland and woodland that make up the Ashdown Forest is a stunning habitat for rare birds and plentiful wildlife, that today has both national and international protection. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is perfect for walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and bird watchers. As well as the Ashdown Forest, there are many National Trust properties, castles and gardens to explore, such as Chiddingstone and Hever Castles (both 13 miles) or Sheffield Park and Gardens (6 miles). Sheffield Park is also home to the delightful Bluebell Railway, where you can take a trip back in time aboard one of their restored steam trains. The nearest large town is Uckfield (5 miles), where you will find all your local amenities and a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Royal Tunbridge Wells is 10 miles from your door, where a visit to the independent boutiques and restaurants of The Pantiles is a must.
This lovely cottage has been decorated with great attention to detail and offers a wonderful starting point from which to set out and explore this area of unlimited walking possibilities and nearby tourist attractions. Step into the warm and welcoming open-plan living area, furnished and decorated to a high standard with comfortable seating and a TV. There is a well-equipped modern kitchen with a breakfast bar and an inviting kingsize bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room.
Reached via the owner's short private drive leading to a secure courtyard with ample parking, to the front of the cottage there is a screened and decked area with outside furniture for al fresco dining. At the rear of the property there is further seating with a view into the forest, and a private gate provides direct access, so don't forget to pack your binoculars and walking boots!
