About this property

Charming Cottage with rural views

Our 18th century cottage offers the benefits of both historical features and all the ‘mod-cons’ you need for a relaxing break. Enjoy restful sleep in luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets and duck feather bedding. Whip up a sumptuous meal in the well-equipped country kitchen and snuggle up in the living room with its log wood burner. This quaint cottage also has a private garden with lovely views from the property. Ideal for a romantic getaway or a family holiday in a beautiful rural setting.


Go through the bright hallway that leads to the fully kitted kitchen and dining area to find the welcome basket on the kitchen table. The dining table and chairs fold neatly away under the table when not in use, and there are extra chairs and seat cushions available in the kitchen store cupboard by the back door and in the bedrooms.

Whether you want to bake cakes or make a full Sunday roast, the kitchen has all that you need. Along with the glasses and crockery, cutlery and utensils etc. The kitchen boasts an electric fan oven, induction hob, combo-microwave oven, full-size fridge freezer, kettle, toaster, filter coffee machine, electric whisk and hand blender. The kitchen windows face west with lovely views over the garden, fields and woodlands beyond, and the garden is easily accessible via the back door.

The living room faces east and south which makes it sunny during the day and the log burner keeps it cosy and warm in the evenings. Extra logs can be purchased from the host, and a child fireguard is available on request. On the shelves and inside the side cupboard you will find an array of coffee table style books, novels and children's books, plus games for the whole family. The Smart TV enables you to stream your favourite programs via Netflix, Amazon, BBCiPlayer etc.

The bathroom is on the ground floor, which has a full size bath with an electric shower overhead. There is plenty of storage and complimentary toiletries (hand wash, hand lotion, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner) and cotton wool for your use. You will also find in the brown cupboard a child booster step and toilet seat for the little ones in your party to use.

Up the staircase there is a toughened glass child safety balustrade, and a child safety staircase gate is available on request. At Christmas time the staircase is decorated with a splendid festive garland.

There are three bedrooms each with ample storage, luxury duck feather bedding and Egyptian cotton sheets, plus and fluffy white towels, dressing gowns and slippers for your comfort. The first bedroom has a king size bed with views over the garden and fields. Bedroom two is a single room, also with views over the garden and fields, and the third bedroom has a single bed and period fireplace. All rooms are heated by electric radiators. A travel cot is available on request, please ask host for details.

Cozy and comfy cottage

We had a wonderful Christmas in the cottage. Beds were warm and comfortable. Sitting room was cozy with the wood burner. Kitchen well equipped to handle a full Christmas meal for all of us. Very quiet, semi-remote location. Far enough away to truly feel “in the countryside” but close enough to make a long day of it to London.

Mooie cottage in een rustige, natuurrijke omgeving

Mooie cottage, vriendelijke verhuurder. We hebben genoten van de rust en natuur. Binnen een uurtje met de trein in London en met de auto in een uur in bijvoorbeeld Brighton of Sevenoaks. Lekker buiten zitten onder de sterrenhemel, af en toe wat leuke diertjes langs. Kortom wij hebben een fijn verblijf gehad.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Winder

Host profile image
Chase Farm is a working farm located in Southwater where the Edwards family have been residents since 1955. Originally a dairy farm, the land is now grassland and arable, so depending on the time of year, you might have sheep grazing nearby or witness the exciting goings on of the hay harvest in action! You will also have the opportunity to see and hear the local wildlife in the fields from your accommodation; from roe deer, pheasants and foxes to buzzards, tawny and barn owls.

Southwater village developed in the 19th century when the brickworks opened in 1891 to take advantage of the vast Sussex clay reserves until its closure in 1981. These red engineering bricks were especially strong and were used worldwide for bridges, infrastructure and housing, including Chase Farm.

Why they chose this property

This charming cottage dates back to the late 18th century and offers the best of both worlds — original period features and all the mod cons you need for a comfortable and relaxing break.
