This Grade-II listed cottage is located on a 16,000 acre heritage estate in West Sussex. The historic home boasts an open fireplace, a cosy snug, and a large garden with an alfresco dining area – perfect for enjoying locally-sourced treats from the local farm shop (a two-minute drive away). With a range of on-site activities, including golf, foraging, and afternoon tea in the walled garden, the estate is a destination in itself. And if you want to explore the surrounding area, the nearby South Downs are ideal for hiking or mountain biking.
