  • Enclosed garden with charcoal BBQ for al fresco dining
  • Perfect for walking and exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby coast
Property code: BT074

This charming property is located close to the village of Pett, which boasts two pubs, a farm shop, post office and family butcher. Surrounded by the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this cottage is perfect for keen walkers looking to explore the countryside and take in the many stunning vistas. Hop in the car for just five minutes and you’ll reach the Sussex coastline, where the super beaches of Fairlight, Pett and Winchelsea are well-worth a visit.

Enter the cottage through the pretty wooden porch and stable door into the main reception room. Vaulted ceilings are lined with original oak beams, which match the heated floor below, while new Velux windows flood the room with natural light. Straight ahead of you, the kitchen/diner adopts a distinctly farmhouse feel with cream cabinets, wooden worktops and a painted kitchen table. The kitchen has been equipped with an oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment, washing machine, dishwasher and butler’s sink. The lounge to the right is cosy and inviting, with comfortable sofas, cushions and a woodburner with initial supply of logs set in an alcove fireplace, the perfect way to warm up after a long walk in the countryside. A hand-painted Welsh dresser houses games, DVDs and an iPod dock for additional entertainment. There is also a walk-in clothes storage cupboard. To the other side of the kitchen is the light and bright double bedroom which has a beam-lined ceiling and views over the farm courtyard with en-suite shower and WC.

Step back through the stable door and you’ll find yourself in a pretty paved area and enclosed garden with table and chairs, perfect for enjoying a summer BBQ with the farmyard ducks for company.

Nice cosy, warm and clean cottage. Quiet location with the bonus of parking right outside the door. Friendly and helpful hosts. Just needs more comfortable outside garden furniture.

We had a wonderful time at Shepherds Cottage. The owners were so hospitable and warm that we felt we had made new friends. The cottage was immaculate, tastefully appointed with original art, and fully equipped with all we neede for a luxurious break. Pett Level Beach and Camber Sands were a short drive away, and we swam in the sea daily. Another chRead morearming aspect of our stay was the presence of beautiful horses in the stables across the yard. We thoroughly recommend it. Hide

Really enjoyed staying in a livery setting. The owners were very welcoming. The area around Pett is a perfect enclave away from the bustle of Hastings.
