Nest Cottage is a romantic one-bedroom bolthole, perfect for a solo or couple’s retreat. It forms the western wing of New Place Farm, situated on an elevated slope of Broomers Hill, Pulborough with its spectacular views of the South Downs.
Although semi-detached, the Cottage has been planned with privacy in mind, and has its own independent entrance, parking for two cars and private garden. Inside, the rooms have been lovingly curated with interesting art, antiques and artefacts creating a home full of character and style which impresses from the moment you step through the door.
The garden and surrounding country views are beautiful in all seasons. Guests immediately relax here. It is blissfully quiet, except for birdsong. Catching up on sleep in sumptuous sheets, countryside walks right from the doorstep, cosy evenings by the fire, and breathtaking Sussex sunsets - just a few elements to make your stay unforgettable.
Please note: This property is in a very quiet area and loud groups and young children are not appropriate at this location. No infants or children under 12. Please also note that the owner's friendly Jack Russell dog may pay you a visit as he lives on the grounds, so for those with allergies or fears of dogs, this may not be the ideal stay for you.
Step into the generous open plan living room and there is ample space for dining, working and relaxation. There’s a flat screen TV and DVD player which comes with a selection of all the best old-fashioned, feel-good movies for you to enjoy. Or you may wish to unplug and curl up with a book – of which there are many to choose from. During the cooler seasons, you can light the open fire, for which there is a well-stocked log store adding warmth and romance to chilly evenings.
There are plentiful country eateries in this area, but should you wish to whip up a delicious meal, the kitchenette is well-equipped with a microwave, double hob, fridge, toaster and Nespresso machine. There is a good range of china, glassware, cutlery, cooking utensils and pans. Tea, coffee pods and milk will be left for you on arrival.
The epitome of luxury, the bedroom has a king size bed dressed in fine Egyptian cotton sheets. The deep hybrid mattress with plump pillows will ensure a restful night’s sleep. Upon waking, you can enjoy the far-reaching views across to the South Downs without moving from your pillow – heaven! There is plenty of storage space for clothes and shoes.
Up a step through double doors, the beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom has a shower and bath and is equipped with fluffy towels and spoiling bath products. Above the freestanding bathtub, a skylight allows you to stargaze or watch the clouds float by as you soak in fragrant bubbles, and the wall-mounted taps allow for comfortable bathing a deux.
Outside there are garden benches, sunloungers, a firepit and a dining area for two beneath the magnolia tree. The garden boasts an ornamental fishpond with fountain, rare specimen trees, ancient yew hedging and dreamy meadows.
At night floodlights bring an elegant atmosphere, and twinkly fairy lights lead up the garden path to the car park.
