About this property
Inkpen Cottage is a light and airy property situated on a working farm where you’ll see livestock like geese, pigs and chickens. The private garden has wonderful views and there’s a hot tub too!
Inkpen Cottage is a charming, detached Grade II listed red brick building originally thought to have been a farmworker’s cottage. You’ll find it tucked away on Strawberry Hill Farm, where the owners are working towards developing a self-sufficient lifestyle. There’s plenty to see on the farm itself, including a vegetable garden, fruit trees, a poly tunnel and geese and chickens, not to mention the odd pig or two!
Beautifully renovated, the cottage has been refurbished to a high standard. The attractive, locally-made clay tile flooring has underfloor heating throughout, while the open-plan sitting room and kitchen benefits from a wood burning stove with french doors leading out to the private garden. The garden has wonderful views of the East Sussex countryside. In one corner, you’ll find a copse with hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring.
The cottage is situated in the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with ancient woodlands, iron workings and meadows teeming with wildlife. With many beautiful villages and towns nearby to explore including Battle, Rye, Burwash and Tenterden and the south coast is a short drive from the cottage.
Additional Information:
Sorry, no children, infants or pets.

The cottage was tucked away down a lane in the grounds of a farm. Inkpen cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and extremely well furnished. King size very important and comfy. Ajoining wetroom shower, beautiful. The kitchen area has everything we needed and more, including a sweet dining table for 2. The lounge area with a comfy sofa, footstool, and side tables facing the TV and log burner. I imagine in the Winter that its very cosy! Doors to the garden with table for 2. Steps to upper level of garden with great views, the hot tub , sheep in the ajoining field , bench, table and chairs . Parking to left of cottage, one level. The area is quiet. The neighbours are the owners . Lee is a great hostess. Our towels washed/changed .half way thru the week. Intresting info about the history of the farm invluding the war years. Hope this cottage will become our bolthole.
