Set in the heart of ‘Winnie the Pooh’ country on a working farm, this delightful cottage is every bit as captivating as the stories by A. A. Milne inspired by this picturesque corner of Sussex. The first stop for Winnie the Pooh fans is the village of Hartfield, less than a mile down the road, home of ‘Pooh Corner’, a tearoom, gift shop and museum dedicated to the adventures of Christopher Robin and friends. Here you can pick up a map and head out to find Hundred Acre Wood (in Ashdown Forest) and Poohsticks Bridge. There are many more attractions within easy reach, including Hever Castle (6.7 miles), the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, and the stately home and gardens at Penhurst Place (7.5 miles), while Royal Tunbridge Wells is just 9 miles away.
This spacious, two-storey cottage is filled with character and charm, and surrounded by picturesque countryside. Enter the property via the hallway, which has a coat stand and doors to the utility room and cloakroom. The spacious living room has a choice of comfortable seating arranged around a wood burner in an attractive brick fireplace. A few steps lead down to the garden room, offering more seating and patio doors leading to the rear garden – a great spot to sit and enjoy the views. Next door is a light-filled and spacious kitchen with a breakfast table, then a few more steps lead back up to the dining room with oak flooring and a country-style pine table and chairs. From the hallway, carpeted stairs take you up to the delightful bedrooms – all featuring exposed beams - and a relaxing family bathroom. There are two colourful and cosy twin rooms, one of which interconnects with the spacious master bedroom, a double with Velux windows, and a contemporary en-suite shower room.
The cottage boasts a rear gravel garden and a front patio with steps down to the lawn, offering a choice of spots to relax on the garden furniture and enjoy the country air and beautiful surroundings. A BBQ is available if you fancy a spot of al fresco dining.
