    With a plethora of original features, including stone mullion windows, ornate plaster coving, original fireplace with a wood burner, private terrace and garden with a wood-fired hot tub, stunning views over the estate parkland and the sea, the property is a fabulous base for exploring the High Weald Area of Natural Beauty, via the many footpaths, by bike or on foot.

    After an alfresco breakfast on the terrace, wander five minutes up the road to explore Winchelsea’s cellar tours, 13th century church with stunning stained glass windows, farm shop, pub, and our neighbour, Charles Palmer’s vineyard wine tours.
