Piltdown Cottage | Peaceful edge-of-village C18th converted cottage in gardens of Manor House

3 Bedroom Cottage in Piltdown, Lewes

Idyllic and peaceful edge-of-village location (all the benefits of the village in one direction, wonderful countryside walks in the other) in an historic Conservation Area, Manor House Cottage is a stone and brick single storey house, once a farm building.
The cottage is almost all on one level (couple of internal steps). There are 3 bedrooms, the double (king size bed, 150 x 200cm) and single rooms being on the same level as entry, the twin bedroom having just a couple of steps up to it. The beds are top quality Hypnos.
The south facing garden (for the exclusive use of guests) has a patio area with table and chairs, gas barbecue and lawn (with a magnificent magnolia tree). Pretty flowerbeds surround the lawn and are planted to attract birds and butterflies. On the other side of the property (north face), outside the front door, there is a beautiful view across to Newick’s 11th century church (Manor House Cottage is in the Conservation Area that surrounds the church). Adding to the collection of medieval-type trees in the Manor House garden, the cottage has its own medlar tree in this front garden.
Situated on the southern edge of Newick, it is only a short walk to the bakery (fresh croissants for breakfast!), shops, pubs, cafe, cricket pitch, lovely village children's playground and other amenities of the village and also, in the other direction, a short walk to beautiful bluebell woods and walks through the fields. The ease of walking to all of these, and the charm and friendliness of the village is so often mentioned by departing guests. It is also perfectly situated for those wanting to split their holiday between visits to the countryside, the coast, and easy day trips to London (fast train to Haywards Heath).
There is much to see and do in this part of Sussex, with Ashdown Forest (Pooh Corner), South Downs Way, the seafront at Brighton, Bluebell Railway, vineyards (e.g. Rathfinny, Ridgeview, Bluebell), many beautiful gardens (National Trust, Yellow Book etc) and historic houses. Golf courses include Piltdown (5 minutes), Royal Ashdown (20 minutes), East Sussex National (15 minutes). For children there is Middle Farm, Knockhatch, Groombridge Place, Brighton SeaLife.
The fresh flowers in the cottage will, for almost all the year except in the depths of winter, be sourced from the flowerbeds of our own garden.
There is a security camera that covers the entrance to the driveway and the pedestrian gate to the road. We, the owners, are the only people with access to the recordings and it is for security purposes only.

Summary: This is a lovely cottage with a beautiful garden. Jane and Martin made us feel very much at home. Everything we needed was right there. The village was charming and we loved the church bells in the evenings and on Sunday. We will definitely stay here again--it was close to so many things we wanted to see--and would recommend it to friends. We only wished we had had more time!
