Old Barn Cottage is a charming 17th-century barn conversion located in the grounds of a 1630 listed farmhouse, ideal for countryside retreats, racing at Lingfield, or visiting London and Brighton. Meticulously restored, it features exposed beams, underfloor heating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV. It is just 14 minutes from Gatwick Airport, with a 30-minute express train into London, yet is set in tranquil open countryside on an equestrian property.
The accommodation sleeps four, with a ground floor open-plan kitchen/living area equipped with modern amenities like a dishwasher, Nespresso coffee maker, and washer/dryer. The living area includes a breakfast bar, L-shaped sofa, additional sofa, and coffee table. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams complement two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a roll-top bath, rain shower, and heated towel rail. Linens, towels, toiletries, and a selection of teas and spices are provided. Hot tub use is available for hire at £40 per day.
Located at the end of a quiet, no-through country lane, the property is a mile from Smallfield village, which offers a Co-op, butchers, and greengrocers. Multiple local pubs and restaurants are nearby, as well as opportunities for scenic country walks.
Situated in the heart of South-East England, the property is surrounded by the Surrey Hills, High Weald, and South Downs National Park. Proximity to local train stations, including Three Bridges (6.7 miles) and Gatwick Airport (6.3 miles), makes it accessible for travel to London and Brighton. Airport parking is available on request.
Despite some aircraft noise from Gatwick, the property offers peaceful rural accommodations with free parking, patio seating, and BBQ facilities for private use.
What We Love:
We love the seamless blend of history and modern comfort, highlighted by exposed beams, underfloor heating, and idyllic countryside setting, plus quick access to Gatwick and London.
