The property is ideally located near the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, allowing for scenic walks directly from the doorstep, where guests can enjoy the sight of horses grazing in nearby paddocks. The single-storey, semi-detached cottages, converted from former outbuildings on a stud farm in 2018, feature an open-plan living space that includes a comfortable living area with Freeview TV, a dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with essential appliances such as an electric cooker, microwave, fridge, and washing machine.
Both cottages boast a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, accommodating families or small groups comfortably.

Outdoor amenities include a small sitting area with a bench, where guests can relax and enjoy the tranquility of their surroundings. Notably, pets are welcome, with a limit of two dogs that must be kept on a lead while on the grounds.
The location provides ample opportunities for exploration, with excellent walking routes leading to a nearby pub in Tandridge, reachable in about thirty minutes.
