THE PROPERTY:
A one bed annexe cottage full of character and historical significance, nestled deep in the countryside near Horsham. Dating back to the 16th Century, this Grade II listed, timber-framed ‘Wealden hall house' forms the southern wing and oldest part of the main house. Hell Fyre 1594 is listed here by Inspire Stays dot com, the leading independent Sussex holiday company. Visit us direct for full info about this home.

To the right a large kitchen-dining room looks out over the gardens; the large fireplace houses an electric stove and displays stonework engravings by craftsmen from 1594. Along with comfortable seating, a Freeview TV and a dining table, the well-equipped new kitchen sits to the side offering a range of modern cooking facilities. Stepping up into the separate sitting room where antique ornaments, curios, taxidermy and artwork abound, there are three cosy sofas gathered around a huge inglenook fireplace which houses an electric real-effect fire. Steps lead down from the sitting room to the cellar containing a staging of a bygone era.

Upstairs on the first floor, the king size vaulted bedroom offers another flat screen TV and a wealth of antique furniture including a king size half tester bed, a small table and chairs, large wardrobe and chest of drawers. Set off to the side is the en-suite bathroom with a shower over bath.

Outside there are beautiful mature gardens to enjoy, with flower borders, seating, ponds, trees, lawns and even beehives in the bottom orchard. At the foot of the estate a couple of hundred metres south, the Christ's Hospital train line provides a lulling background soundtrack typical of the countryside in this area.
