Location

The property is located within a short distance of the amenities in Burwash (about a third of a mile). Burwash is a popular, historic village with a thriving community, located about 13 miles South of Tunbridge Wells and 16 miles North of Hastings in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is best known for its National Trust Grade I listed property, Bateman’s – the former home of Rudyard Kippling.

The village has retained many of its High Street facilities including two public houses, a tea/coffee (and cake) shop, friendly Burwash Stores, hairdressers, plus village hall, doctor’s surgery, churches (including a Grade II* listed medieval church that plays a central part in the community), and an “outstanding” primary school (Ofsted 2024). The surrounding countryside is beautiful and offers lots of walking opportunities.

More comprehensive shopping facilities, including supermarkets, can be found at Heathfield (6.8 miles) and Hawkhurst (7.5 miles), with the larger shopping centres of Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne/Hastings being that little further away, but accessible in about 35 minutes.

Etchingham station is about 2.5 miles to the East (accessible by bus) and Stonegate station is about 4.2 miles to the North-West, both on the Hastings line to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (Etchingham to London Bridge in about 1hr 6mins).

The A265 runs through the centre of the village from Hurst Green to Heathfield, providing fast road links to the local towns and A21, which in turn links to the M25 to the North and coast to the South.

There are other primary school options in surrounding villages. Nearby Robertsbridge (4.9 miles) and Wadhurst (5.8 miles) have secondary schools.
