Property Description

The cottage is owned by a local artist and her husband, is newly built, and brand new to the holiday let market. It sits within the owners secure, electric gated grounds. Built in an English heritage style, it stands in delightful surroundings, has a stunning interior, and a cottage style, private garden. It is located on the outskirts of town, but is under a 4 minute drive away from central St. Leonards and the Seafront.

St. Leonards is quirky, has some great architecture, interesting streets, with shops offering everything from every day necessities, to antiques. Along the seafront there are art galleries, coffee shops and a cultural mix of eating places. Its close neighbour Hastings with its Old Town, working fishing beach, smugglers caves, traditional seaside activities, museums, and much more is an historic gem,waiting for you to explore.

Surrounding St. Leonards are many pretty villages and towns, the nearest being Battle (famous for the1066 Battle of Hastings). Along the coast is Eastbourne which sits at the foot of the South Downs National Park (a must for walkers), and further up the coast is the town of Brighton (nick-named Little London), which has a lively bohemian atmosphere, evident both day and night.

London itself is easily reached via Warrior Square Station (mainline to Charing Cross) , and West St, Leonards Station, to London Victoria (via Lewes). A 1hr 45min journey takes you right into the heart of London.
