This charming, characterful cottage is an absolute West Sussex gem. Dating back four centuries this historic home features a fantastic farmhouse style kitchen and dining room and separate sitting room as well as access to a shared garden, tennis court and hot tub, making it the perfect place to spend quality time with friends and family. Boasting exposed brick walls and floors and exceptionally beautiful beamed ceilings as well as its very own suit of armour, this home for all seasons is bound to make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. In the spring and summer months you’ll love getting in a game of tennis before luxuriating in the hot tub, dining or lounging alfresco and wandering about the large garden, glass of wine in hand. In the autumn and winter months delight in being able to cosying up in the sitting room and play games or host a movie night in front of the roaring fire. If you fancy stretching your legs and getting out and about in the fresh air, your home’s location at the bottom of a country lane in Crawley Down means you can explore the High Weald Area of National Beauty before stopping... for a well-earned pint at one of the local village pubs. Ideally situated close to the borders of Kent and Surrey, you’ll also be easily able to snoop around the National Trust properties of Standen, Sheffield Park, Nymans Gardens and Polesdon Lacy, or if you’re the more outdoorsy type, other nearby attractions include Kew Wakehurst, the Bluebell Railway and Winnie the Pooh’s favourite hangout – Ashdown Forest.
