Sheriff Cottage is in a most rural and tranquil setting beside a quiet lane, close to the village of Horsted Keynes. Built during the late Victorian period, the cottage is the end of a group of three attached cottages.

As you open the front door you enter a light and airy dining hall with high ceilings and room for six people to eat in comfort. The living room at the front of the cottage is a peaceful haven for relaxation with comfortable sofas and an armchair furnished to give a period ambience. The kitchen is compact and well equipped for preparing your meals. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a period-style, freestanding bath. The garden at Sheriff Cottage is a real feature. It is a mix of traditional, herbaceous, English cottage garden planting and a collection of black bamboo, giving a modern twist. The garden room adjacent to the cottage is a spacious extra sitting room perfect for watching DVDs on the large flat screen TV or relaxing with a book or a board game.

Half a mile down the lane is Horsted Keynes station on the Bluebell Railway. The Bluebell celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010 and runs from Sheffield Park to East Grinstead where it connects with mainline services. This has taken the line to a total distance of about 12 miles passing through some of the most picturesque Sussex countryside that you will find.

Horsted Keynes is a small village just under 2 miles south east of Sheriff Cottage. It has two pubs and a traditional general store selling all the essential every day food items. Slightly further south and right beside the station at Sheffield Park, Sheffield Park Garden is a magnificent informal landscape garden laid out in the 18th Century by ’Capability’ Brown. To the west, Wakehurst Place is one of the National Trust’s most visited places and country home for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Immediately to the south of East Grinstead, Standen is hidden at the end of a quiet Sussex lane with breathtaking views over the High Weald and Weirwood Reservoir. A little further afield at Handcross, Nymans House and Gardens is another National Trust property and so similar in appeal to both Sheffield Park and Wakehurst Place, while the Ardingly Resevoir which nestles into the wooded hillside near to Balcombe offers many walks and the opportunity to enjoy or simply watch watersports on the 198 acres of water.
