Set in the peaceful rural village of Maynards Green, this beautiful holiday home, once a chapel, offers a slower pace of life, surrounded by rolling fields, quiet lanes, and the kind of countryside that invites you to lace up your walking boots and head straight out the door. It’s an ideal base for friends and family looking to properly switch off and enjoy a more authentic Sussex escape. Heathfield (2 miles) provides a handy hub for everyday essentials, with cosy cafes, independent shops, and market-town charm. Within 10 miles, you can step back in time at Michelham Priory, wander the impressive grounds of Herstmonceux Castle, or visit Bateman’s, the former home of Rudyard Kipling. For those craving fresh sea air, the Eastbourne coastline offers classic seaside scenery and sweeping views. And of course, no stay here would be complete without exploring the breathtaking South Downs, and the Seven Sisters Country Park. Further afield are popular destinations to suit all from the Glyndebourne Opera House (13 miles), Lewes (15 miles), Tunbridge Wells (15 miles) or Brighton (25 miles).
With its own private entrance, the rustic door of this unique holiday escape immediately sets the tone for a stay full of character. Four steps leads you inside to a welcoming interior. Here you’ll find a kitchen/diner, thoughtfully equipped for easy, sociable mealtimes. Stairs lead down to a striking, galleried lounge, where an inglenook fireplace takes centre stage. Comfortable seating, a TV, and soft lighting make this a lovely spot to settle and relax in after a day out. A door from the lounge leads to a bedroom with wooden panelling on the walls. This flexible room can be configured as either one super-king-size bed or twin beds, depending on your needs. There’s also a sleek, contemporary shower room with stylish tiling on this level. A staircase leads up to a triple-aspect, super-king-size bedroom – a cosy space tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof.
Outside, a charming, enclosed courtyard awaits, with a bistro set for morning coffee or evening drinks as the sun goes down. There’s also designated off-road parking for up to 2 cars on the driveway of the owners property, so you can come and go with ease.
