Romany Cottage is a stunning and secluded detached country house, a place designed for creativity and escape from the hustle and bustle. Beautifully appointed, the interiors balance attractive contemporary fittings with the inherent beauty and character of its Arts & Crafts origins.

The heart of the home is the 23ft kitchen/breakfast room, with its bespoke wooden cabinetry, central island, and range cooker—a perfect space for family life. For more formal entertaining, the 28ft drawing room is truly spectacular, featuring an impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed timber eaves, a fireplace, and French doors that open onto the garden, flooding the space with light.

Further reception rooms include a formal dining room, with its attractive wallpaper and sweeping staircase, and a comfortable sitting room, also with a triple aspect and fireplace. This flexible layout offers ample space for a family to live, work, and create.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom with an en suite shower room—ideal for guests, a live-in relative, or a quiet home study. The first floor provides three further well-presented double bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom features an en suite bathroom with a steam room and there is also a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property also has commoners rights attached with permission to cut wood and for horse riding permits.

The magic of Romany Cottage is its unique setting. Accessed via a quiet, single-track lane, the property is entirely private. The south-facing gardens are a delight, featuring paved pathways, a timber deck for al fresco dining, lush lawns, wildflower meadows, and a charming summer house—all bordered by dense, protective woodland. Whilst the forest and land is peaceful, there is abundance of wildlife, plants and trees (many edible) and bidoversity. There is a separate 0.9 acre fenced piece of land suitable for growing vegetables, raising chickens or to have a stable with horses. This is your personal place to be grounded in nature.

The property enjoys a privileged position with direct, private access onto the iconic Ashdown Forest, offering thousands of acres of protected heathland and woodland to explore right from your doorstep. Despite its incredible seclusion, you are just a quarter-of-a-mile stroll (through the forest) from the award-winning Foresters Arms pub in the idyllic village of Fairwarp.

Perfectly positioned, Romany Cottage offers a rare balance: Complete escape with excellent accessibility. It is close to the Michael Hall Steiner School and other excellent state and private schools. The A26 provides easy road access, while mainline stations at Crowborough and Uckfield offer regular services to London Bridge in just over an hour. You can easily reach the cultural delights of Glyndebourne Opera House, the historic towns of Lewes and Royal Tunbridge Wells, and the beautiful beaches of the South Coast.
