A gorgeous escape just for two, this sweet cottage is just the place for a relaxing break in the midst of Sussex’s many attractions. Its pretty interior is complemented by a large garden and a patio where you can dine alfresco after a day of walking, cycling or enjoying the beach.
Step up and into this wonderful annexe getaway, a characterful, single-storey brick building that’s set within the owner’s grounds. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming living space with a wooden floor, softly coloured walls and sleek, inset ceiling lights. The spacious lounge area boasts a sofa and a Freeview TV, perfect for relaxing evenings. The adjacent kitchen area is compact but has all you’ll need to conjure up simple meals and snacks, dining at the L-shaped counter. When you’re feeling tired, head through to the tranquil double bedroom, which in turn leads to an en-suite shower room. You have your own garden, too – a private raised patio with a bistro set and a BBQ, where you can sip a morning cup of coffee, pour a sundowner or dine under the stars. And around the corner, there’s a large area of lawn equipped with wooden sun loungers for total rest and relaxation.
