Description from owner
Description
Russets is a rural retreat situated in the High Weald village of High Hurstwood which is in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For 2019/20 the cottage has been awarded 4 stars and a Gold by VisitEngland. Russets is one of two cottages that adjoin one another. They are set in the grounds of the owner's house at the end of 200 metres of private drive and surrounded by 12 acres of gardens, meadows and orchards which are a haven for birds and wildlife. The cottage enjoys its own garden area in which to sit out and unwind from the stresses of everyday life.
Russets is equipped and furnished to a very high standard, with almost everything you could need for a totally relaxed holiday. It has been converted by a local builder with great care to retain many original features whilst creating a warm and welcoming cottage in which to truly unwind and get away from it all.
THE KITCHEN
As you come through the front door you enter a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area. There is plenty of china etc. and extra chairs are available if you wish to entertain a few friends or family. It has all that you need for a comfortable hassle-free stay including a full sized electric oven, a microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and automatic washer-dryer.
SITTING ROOM
From the kitchen you ascend the original steep narrow stairs up to a galleried sitting room and double bedroom both of which overlook woodland. The sitting room has comfortable seating, oak furniture and a Sony 28” LCD TV and DVD player. There is a supply of books to choose from, games to play and plenty of tourist information and maps to help you plan your stay. We even supply you with binoculars and a bird book so that you can view the many visitors to our bird feeder which you can view directly from the window.
THE BEDROOM AND EN-SUITE
The bedroom is furnished with oak furniture and has a King sized (5ft) pocket sprung divan bed and a small remote controlled TV. There is an en-suite bathroom with an over-bath shower and sloping ceiling.
SITTING OUT AREA
In front of the cottage is Russets own private sitting out area surrounded by containers of plants with garden furniture, an umbrella and a Weber charcoal barbecue.
OUT AND ABOUT
If you want a rest from driving there is access onto a public footpath just outside the garden, and the Vanguard Way is only 10 minute's walk away. Several vineyards in the vicinity produce some rather good wines which can be sampled and bought.
The Bluebell Steam Railway makes frequent journeys from Sheffield Park, with its period railway station and frequent special evening and week-end events for all ages. A great day out can also be enjoyed on the Ashdown Forest, the home of Winnie the Pooh and his friends, is less than 2 miles away, which is an ideal setting for wildlife and offers the perfect recipe for picnics, walking and riding.
