Shorthorn Cottage is one of our two beautifully converted Cow Byres dating back 150 years. Situated in the heart of the peaceful Sussex countryside, it is full of character with wooden beams, oak painted floors and a cosy log burner. It is well equipped with everything you would expect in a home-from-home setting. Ideal for families, and dog friendly, it is a perfect base for relaxing, walking, popping down to the coast or enjoying the many vineyards and historic houses on our doorstep.

The space
A stable door leads into a light and spacious living room perfect for relaxing and socialising. The high beamed ceilings and log burner give this beautiful barn conversion character and a cosy, rustic feel. Two large sofas provide plenty of space to relax around the fire or play family games. A sociable dining area with large rectangular table provides space for the whole family to dine together.

The well equipped kitchen area is divided from the sitting area. Beech floor units and black worktops give it a modern feel with an electric oven, grill and hob, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine.

A spacious hallway leads to the 2 bedrooms and the main bathroom.

Bedroom 1 has a comfortable double bed, wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside tables with lamps. The newly fitted en-suite shower room has a shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet.

Bedroom 2 is cosy with twin beds, storage drawers, pine wardrobe, and bedside tables with lamps.

The main bathroom has a bath with over bath shower, wash basin and toilet with plenty of space for hanging towels.

A wooden staircase with rope handrail at the far end of the sitting area leading to...

Bedroom 3 with three single beds (one a stacker) with pine wardrobe, bedside tables with lamps, storage baskets and a vaulted ceiling with velux windows and inset lights.

To the front of the property is a lawned area with patio and picnic table. Additional garden chairs, parasol and BBQ are also available, stored in the adjoining barn area. There is also a washing line and tumble drier.

Neighborhood highlights

Vines Cross is a small hamlet with a pub, just a mile away. You can enjoy the two-mile walk we’ve created around our farm, through peaceful fields and woodland, clambering over stiles in the true country fashion.

There are a range country pubs just a short drive away, and if you prefer to cook in the well-equipped kitchen you can find a farm shop just across the road.
