About the host
Hosted by Diana Brennan
We have lived here since 1975 and appreciate living in such beautiful surroundings which we enjoy sharing with and describing to our guests. Because we live on the property we are normally available to give any helpful tourist advice and ensure the smooth running of the cottage.
Why they chose this property
This property is situated in the heart of the AONB of the Sussex Weald which in Roman and Tudor times was the main iron ore producing region in Britain. The iron ore was used, amongst other things, to make canon ball to help fend off the Spanish Armada. We have a hammer pond dating back to this period and the remains of the bloomery and other workings of this industry can still be found nearby.
What makes this property unique
The main house is Arts and Crafts. The cottage is approached through the archway of this house and is situated at the end of the drive in front of a paddock and next to a large unfenced pond well away from the road, surrounded by the beautiful and unspoilt Sussex countryside. On the opposite side of the lane is another pond, woodland and fields included in the grounds.
