Ask a questionAbout Angie Ward
I was bought up on a farm so enjoy all aspects of rural life. I originally had a career in London, but when I was expecting our first child wanted to move back to the countryside to give the family the space and freedom of rural life. I also enjoy hacking around the Forest on my dear old horse, Fred!
Angie Ward purchased this cottage in 2016
Why Angie Ward chose West Hoathley
The nearby Ashdown Forest abounds with wildlife and yet it is still very accessible to towns such as Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and nearby Three Bridges station for a fast train journey to London! The more leisurely travellers could take a train from East Grinstead to London or better still a steam train to Sheffield Park!
What makes this cottage unique
On a clear day there are views of the South Downs from the property and upon exiting the drive you will see the North Downs. The 6000 acres of Ashdown Forest is stunning, there are so many lovely walks, bird watching hides, areas for cycling. There are also many gorgeous historical gardens and National Trust houses within easy reach.
