About this cottage rental
Take a step back in time when you enter this remarkable property, built in 1433 and sleeping three guests. The timber-framed house is set in the heart of Battle, a charming market town named after the nearby site of the historic 1066 Battle of Hastings. Climb to the gatehouse roof of imposing Battle Abbey for a splendid view of the town and the surrounding countryside. Battle has shops, restaurants and pubs, and a heritage trail past medieval cottages and Georgian houses. The coast at Hastings, where fishermen store their boats on the shingle beach, is just 6 miles away. Stroll through historic Hastings Old Town’s narrow streets, visit the Fishermen’s Museum and climb West Hill for superb sea views. The National Trust’s impressive Bodiam Castle (7 miles) has a spiral staircase, battlements and a portcullis within its open-air interior. Historic Great Dixter House and Gardens and the medieval town of Rye are both within 14 miles.
This splendid historic home, used as a forge 200 years ago, is sympathetically furnished throughout with 17th and 18th century antiques and oriental rugs that enhance its atmospheric charm. Step inside the spectacular galleried hallway and into the spacious sitting room/diner which boasts exceptional oak beams and an area of original Georgian wallpapers. A comfortable Chesterfield sofa sits before the woodburner set inside an impressive Inglenook fireplace with a Cromwellian dining table and rush-seated chairs. The kitchen retains its rich medieval character alongside antique French painted furniture and importantly today’s mod cons. A sleek shower room completes the ground floor experience. Climb upstairs to find the magnificent galleried landing with stained glass windows and a reading nook with views across the Battle roofline. There are two characterful and inviting bedrooms. A spacious master bedroom with a Victorian King-size bed and a delightful tudor-bricked alcove. A smaller single bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, views into the attic space and a secret door that overlooks the entrance hallway.
French doors from the kitchen open to a small courtyard garden with seating, perfect for a quiet drink or meal. There is parking in the nearby Mount Street public carpark.
