Woodpeckers Cottage - One bedroom luxurious and Contemporary rural retreat

Woodpeckers is a contemporary boutique style detached cottage with a spacious, light, open plan living area, luxurious bathroom and a beautiful bedroom. You’ll find good quality soft furnishings with decorations in Farrow and Ball colours and granite worktops to the well-fitted kitchen. The comfy sitting area has a Smart TV with Netflix, DVD player and WiFi. There is central heating throughout.

The accommodation is designed to an exceptionally high standard in a rural, tranquil setting. Fresh flowers and a few basics await your arrival.

The entrance door leads from a porch into an open plan sitting/dining room featuring a contemporary wood burning stove made up with logs ready to light, ensuring you are cosy throughout your stay during cooler days!

The fully equipped, open plan kitchen leads off the dining area, it has a Neff electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge with 4* ice box and dishwasher. The utility cupboard has a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board.

The bedroom features a luxurious king size bed with quality linen. This leads to a large en suite bathroom with walk in shower having two-shower head options, large double-ended bath and plenty of storage within the hand made vanity unit and a heated towel rail with cotton towels.

Woodpeckers enjoys its own landscaped courtyard garden with outdoor furniture and gas BBQ (during the warmer weather).

There are country walks from the door onto a bridleway and the nearby Ashdown Forest (2,396 hectares). This cottage is in the gardens of an old coach house, which once formed part of a larger estate; therefore it has the benefit of a shared private tennis court and small fitness room. Guests are welcome to use these at their own risk. For further information please contact the owner direct.

Whilst we love dogs, we do not have pets to stay. Nor do we have smoking anywhere within the cottage.

There is a detached two bedroom cottage close by, ideal for family groups and friends wanting independent accommodation. See Deerkeepers Cottage.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.
