Mill Barn
Stepping through the gate, this beautiful barn conversion greets you with pretty flower borders, vines draping the door and windows and views of Chailey Common just over the wall of the private garden. The front door beckons you into the gorgeous living room where there are deep sofas to sink into, a cosy wood burner, Smart TV with Netflix and a beautiful set of wrought iron spiral stairs – hand woven rope gently climbing the banister. The elegant kitchen is fully equipped, down to toast rack, eggcups and teapot ready for breakfast in the morning. There is also a boot room with WC downstairs, a warm spot to tuck coats away after a stroll across the Common.
Upstairs, the snug reading corner is a lovely spot to while away an hour with a good book. The bedroom is light and airy, with built-in wardrobes, a sumptuous kingsize bed and gorgeous views from the window overlooking the Common. Next door, the glorious bathroom is an experience in itself. Have an invigorating wake-up under the rainfall shower or stretch out in the double end bath and simply soak in the serene and relaxing surroundings and afterwards wrap yourself up in one of the lovely bathrobes that are provided. For a special indulgence, private yoga lessons can be arranged in the cottage or the beautiful, tranquil garden .
Whatever the reason, Mill Barn is the perfect year-round cosy cottage. Whether celebrating an anniversary, birthday or minimoon, looking for an unhurried romantic break or just want to get away and explore this charming corner of Old England, treat yourself to this unique home stay for couples and individuals alike.
Mill Barn is situated in the heart of Red House Common, part of the larger Chailey Common which is one of the largest in the south of England stretching over 180 hectares, and was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1966. It is a site of Special Scientific Interest for its heathland plants and diverse insect and bird communities. Exmoor ponies live and graze on the land at various times of the year. Step out of the door and straight onto Chailey Common for abundant walks across this beautiful East Sussex heritage landscape. Mill Barn is also ideally located within 5 miles of both the South Downs National Park and Ashdown Forest. A few miles away and you can explore over 250 acres of parkland at the National Trust’s Sheffield Park and while walking in the parkland you will often hear the sound of the steam trains at the nearby Bluebell Railway. Fifteen minutes further north and you can discover Wakehurst Place which has been cared for and developed by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew for the last 50 years.
Just 50 metres down the lane from the cottage, Chailey Windmill is a Grade II listed smock mill open to the public on various dates during the summer months. Further afield, head to Lewes to spend some time wandering around the pretty centre of this historic market town and visiting many of the antique and craft shops, bars and restaurants. Continue on 20 minutes from Lewes and you will be on the Sussex coast. Visit the vibrant city of Brighton with its lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere or head further east towards the traditional seaside towns of Seaford and Eastbourne. For opera lovers, Glyndebourne Opera House is 20 minutes away.
