Home & location

Our property is a 18th century farm house in West Sussex with all the peace and quiet of rural life and all the modern conveniences with some easy care animals. You will be surrounded by fields while still being close to the village With the South Downs link at your door and a brewery and cafe as near neighbours, this is an ideal sit if you want to relax and unwind. Our house is located a lovely 10. Knute walk along the Downs Link from the village of Rudgwick with a co-op, post office and pharmacy. It is 6 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms and has everything you could want in a classic country property. Original wooden beams, stone floors in the entrance, wood burner stove in the snug and an AGA plus standard oven in the country kitchen. Our patio has uninterrupted views of our 40 acre property, outbuildings and stables. The house does have an attached self contained annexe, we let out but they have their own entrance and we rarely see the couple. Craig comes to cut the grass weekly. Alan, comes up to check the farm buildings and machinery, but will always let you know when he is around. We have an old tennis court

I thoroughly enjoyed this sit. It’s a historic and lovely home in a wonderful location. All the “furries” are amazing. I recommend this sit and look forward to going back.

There is so much to like about this sit. A beautiful, peaceful location, a classic country house and easy care pets. I had great fun feeding the farm cats and, while the dogs didn’t stay with me, I did interact with them before and after the sit and they were delightful. Plus, I had a young deer that visited most evenings which I loved. If you are looking for a relaxing country experience I can highly recommend it. The homeowners Michael and Jane were so welcoming and we are already talking about sitting again the next time I’m in the UK.
