Peartree Cottage

Nestled within the Euridge Estate, Peartree Cottage sits on a tiny lane with just two other cottages for company. This is a pretty and rural spot with far-reaching views across the valley and cows and sheep dotted in the fields below.

Built-in 1877 this charming stone cottage is filled with character and original features including huge sash windows and high ceilings. On the ground floor you’ll find a pretty country-style living/dining room with huge windows, a calming colour scheme which is pleasing to the eye and a cosy fireplace with a wood-burning stove for chilly nights and rainy afternoons. There’s also a compact but well-equipped kitchen, the bathroom which features a bath and a separate shower and a handy cloakroom with an extra toilet. Head up the stairs and there are three comfortable bedrooms with views over the front and rear of the cottage.

The large, gently sloping garden is shared with any guests who may be staying in the adjacent Bluebell Cottage, but there is plenty of space for all including a garden table and chairs and a charcoal barbecue. Younger guests will love the space to run around in the country air, older visitors can sit and soak up the view, and it’s a wonderful spot for wildlife with deer and hares often seen along with hawks and red kites.

Ground Floor

The front door opens into a large entrance hall which leads to the living/dining room, the bathroom and the ground floor cloakroom. There are coat hooks and a useful shelf for storing outdoor coats. There is also a cupboard which houses the washing machine and boiler.

Living/Dining Room:
This spacious room spans the width of the cottage and is a cosy and welcoming space. Two large, arched sash windows frame the rural view to the front whilst the comfy chesterfield-style sofa and two armchairs provide plenty of space to relax in front of the wood-burning stove. A smart TV is mounted on the wall above the fireplace while shelves on either side of the chimney breast hold books and DVDs. The dining area features a wooden dining table which seats six comfortably, a chandelier overhead adds a touch of style. A beautiful original feature of the cottage has been retained in the old fireplace and bread oven on the far wall of the dining area.

Kitchen:
The kitchen leads directly from the dining area and is a compact, country-style kitchen with quarry tile flooring, oak cupboards and all the equipment needed for a self-catering stay, including a dishwasher, microwave, and a Nespresso coffee machine.
