About this property
Gun Hill Cottage should certainly be at the top of your list if you're searching for a rural retreat for the family or with friends in this idyllic part of England.
Care and attention has gone into its refurbishment with no expense spared in making this a really comfortable and homely place to stay.
The pretty, rose-covered, weather-boarded exterior will certainly catch your eye as you venture up the front path.
Once inside you'll be won over by the charming character the cottage exudes, with its original features such as the beamed ceilings, yet all the comforts you'd expect from a contemporary home are there for you to enjoy.
Subtle tones dominate throughout adding to the feeling of tranquillity.
There is plenty to entertain here and, on request, the dining room can be converted to a games room with a pool table (in which case the entrance room will become a dining room).
Outside you have a third of an acre of garden to enjoy as well as a lovely pond to lounge by at the end of a busy day.
One of the Vicinity’s lovely walks is the Wealdway, which meanders around a mile to Chiddingly, a classic English village with church, pub (The Six Bells), cricket field and street of delightful cottages. Horam Manor is about one mile to the north and offers fishing, nature trails, riding lessons, and pottery painting, while for keen golfers there are courses at Horam Park (one mile) and Wellshurst (three miles).
