The property enjoys a setting that may be described as rural, amongst undulating farm and woodland surrounding the general area, set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whilst the setting is rural it is not isolated and Tunbridge Wells, East Grinstead, Edenbridge and Crowbrough are all within 15 minutes driving distance, each with good shopping and rail access to London. Ashurst railway station is very conveniently located nearby and provides a superb service to Croydon and London and is, with the new stock, a very viable and effective way of travelling to both places. Crawley, the internatioonal airport at Gatwick, the M23 and M25 are easily accessible and Ashdown Forest is approximately 5 miles to the south with six and a half thousand acres of wonderful heathland providing facilities for riding (by permit) and walking.
