Nestled deep in the English countryside, far away from the blaring horns and pneumatic drills of the city, this charming home provides the perfect base for a picturesque holiday pulled straight out of the pages of a ‘Famous Five’ story. You’ll be struck by how charming the interior is as you pass through its doors. With its open-plan living space offering both ample room and plenty of style. When you want to freshen up after a hike, you’ll be torn between the free-standing copper bath and the rainfall shower. In warm weather, you’ll enjoy meals out in the alfresco dining area. When it’s a bit nippy, you’ll relax sitting around the fireplace. Offering direct access to the charming wooded areas of Hesworth Common (perfect for picnics or a trip to a country pub) and within walking distance from farm shops and an award-winning shop selling local produce, this home is in a fantastic location for getting a feel for the local area. We recommend trying the local wine – the area is becoming renowned for its vineyards and wineries. The home can also serve as a base to explore a little further afield – Chichester, Brighton, and Portsmouth all make for ideal day trip... spots.

About The South Downs
It’s fair to say people come to the South Downs for the views. Extending for around 260 square miles across East Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire, they’re a range of chalky hills widely considered to be one of England’s most attractive landscapes. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, it’s since been awarded National Park status. Stretching from Winchester to Eastbourne, there are charming English towns and villages...
