1 Bed Cottage in Ashburnham

About this property

A gorgeous cottage, set over one level and situated in the 12-acre grounds of the owners' lovely Grade II-listed farmhouse, is the ideal location for solo travellers or couples seeking a quiet getaway. It is an easy drive from the scenic Sussex countryside and coast. Visit the nearby villages of Ashburnham or Dallington, one mile away, and explore the independent shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. The town of Battle, located six miles away, is home to the famous Abbey and 1066 battlefield, making it a must-see attraction. The National Trust property of Bateman's is 6 miles away and the majestic Bodiam Castle is 13 miles. Head to the coast and discover the beautiful beaches at Pevensey and Cooden, both under 10 miles away. Or visit Rye (23 miles) with its wonderful cobble streets, quaint tearooms and antique shops.

This characterful rural property is one of Thornden Farm's original outbuildings. The cottage has been meticulously restored, while retaining many of its original features. Enter via the quaint stable door and walk onto the wooden flooring into a warm and inviting ambience full of enchanting rustic and farmhouse style, with low beams and a cosy, open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area. The decor throughout features warm, natural hues to match the countryside setting, creating a restful feel. Admire the exposed, traditional wooden beams and the beautiful inglenook fireplace, featuring classic exposed brickwork. All these original features are seamlessly woven alongside contemporary creature comforts, ensuring a memorable stay. In the snug seating area, add a log to the wood burner in cooler weather and enjoy the glow and crackle as you snuggle up on the plush seating with your favourite book or catch up on your favourite films on the Smart TV. Behind the lounge area is the kitchen, boasting all the appliances you need for a lazy breakfast, a picnic to go, or a romantic evening meal. Enjoy a meal together at the wooden table, thoughtfully placed next to the window, where you can take in the view outside. The entire property features numerous thoughtful touches that add a gentle, vibrant energy to the living spaces. The double bedroom is perfect for a restful night's sleep after a busy day of exploring. The bedroom benefits from a sleek and contemporary en-suite shower room.

Outside, there is a secluded shared garden area featuring a patio with an outdoor table and chairs, as well as a small pond, making it the ideal spot for a morning brew, an afternoon tea, or dining alfresco on fine weather days. To the front is a fully enclosed garden, perfect for children and your four-legged friends to play. Private parking is available for one car.
