Nestled in the picturesque region of Lewes, East Sussex, this charming cottage offers a serene retreat in the South of England, accommodating up to five guests across two bedrooms. Located near the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottage is situated on a tranquil rural road, far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, with the nearest street light being two miles away. This peaceful setting allows guests to immerse themselves in the unspoiled countryside, where the sounds of nature, such as owls, deer, and the occasional nightingale, create a soothing nighttime atmosphere.
Recently completed in 2018, the cottage features fresh and modern décor, providing light and spacious rooms that enhance the overall comfort of the stay. The modern kitchen and dining area are designed for social cooking and dining, comfortably seating four to six people, while patio doors open onto a small garden area.

With efficient central heating, the cottage remains warm during winter, while its ventilation keeps it cool in summer, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.
The accommodation comprises one double bedroom and a second room with two single beds, along with a brand-new double sofa bed in the lounge for additional sleeping arrangements. The outdoor space is particularly inviting, featuring a secluded, fully fenced patio that is both child and pet-friendly, perfect for enjoying drinks on a summer evening. Guests can also marvel at the stunning night sky, taking advantage of the area's darkness to appreciate the stars and ensuring a restful night's sleep in this quiet location. It is worth noting that the property has a resident cat and small dog, so any visiting pets must be kept under control outdoors, with dog visits requiring prior agreement.
In addition to its tranquil setting, the cottage is conveniently located near several local landmarks and recreational activities. Visitors can explore the historical Lewes Castle and the scenic Bluebell Railway at Sheffield Park Station. The natural beauty of Ditchling Common Country Park and the South Downs National Park is easily accessible, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, and mountain biking.
