The cottage has been formed from part of the farm's milking parlour and stables used by the heavy horses that worked the farm in the 1950s. There are three bedrooms, a spacious living/dining room, separate kitchen, and hall. There is access from the living room and double bedroom onto the paved courtyard. The cottage is rated 4 star by the English Tourist Board and has an accessibility rating of M2, meaning that it is suitable for wheelchair users. The wet shower room has been designed to accommodate persons of limited mobility and can be equipped with drop down support arms and shower chair when required. The cottage is all on one level with no steps. The courtyard is shared with the adjacent cottage and is equipped with tables and chairs, umbrella, tubs with planting and a barbeque. We are situated just outside the proposed South Downs National Park on the edge of the village of Plumpton Green. Access to places of interest is particularly good, with ancient villages like Ditchling and Lindfield close by, the historic and highly individual town of Lewes about 7 miles away, many National Trust properties and gardens, such as Wakehurst Place, Sheffield Park, Standen and Batemans within easy reach. The Bluebell Steam Railway is close by, Newhaven Fort 15 miles away, and Charleston Farmhouse, home of the Bloomsbury Group just the other side of Lewes. Glyndebourne is about 10 miles away, as is the South of England Showground. The South Downs are close by.
