About this property
1 bedroom accommodation in Herstmonceux, near Hailsham
Surround yourself with tranquillity and escape to this superbly equipped shepherd’s hut deep in the countryside of beautiful Herstmonceux.. 2 steps to entrance.
All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: 32" TV, Smart Freeview TV, Netflix, Woodburner
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Dishwasher, Washer Dryer
Bedroom area: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Solar powered electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included, remainder £5 per basket. Welcome pack. 5-acre field with sitting-out area and garden furniture. 32½-acre grounds (shared with other properties on-site). 1 dog welcome, to be kept on a lead at all times (working farm). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: There is a fenced pond in the grounds, 30 yards away. No babies or toddlers.. The perfect place for those looking to enjoy a relaxing break in a quirky modern shepherd’s hut! The Shepherd’s Hut at Calvesfield Shaw is a cosy retreat with a fully-equipped kitchen, shower room, Smart television, double bed, and a wood burner to keep you warm. With the outdoors at heart, it opens onto a large decking area with dining facilities and seating, with sweeping views across its own 5 acres of surrounding fields. It is set on a working farm totalling 37½ acres, which guests are also free to roam around and explore. There are sheep, geese, ducks, chickens, and a fenced pond 30 yards from the entrance. Being fully insulated and with the cosy wood burner the hut is toasty all year round and can make for a romantic getaway in the winter months. With a hardcore drive allowing you to drive down to the hut to drop off luggage and stepping stones to get to the door, you won’t need to worry about muddy boots until you head off exploring. Whether it’s a crisp winter morning or a sunny summer day Calvesfield Shaw offers the perfect hideaway.
Herstmonceux is not only home to the hands-on Observatory Science Centre housed amongst the domes and telescopes of the former Royal Greenwich Observatory but there is also the magnificent Herstmonceux Castle with its Elizabethan gardens to wander around. The town also produces Henner’s medal-winning sparkling wine, and because Sussex has a sunny climate and chalky subsoil (the same as that in Champagne in France), the county also produces wonderful sparkling wines. To access your nearest beach, take a short car journey to Pevensey where the Romans landed, and you can tackle the beautiful 31-mile 1066 Country Walk which starts at Pevensey via Herstmonceux, and on to Battle and then the Cinque Port town of Rye. Golf and fishing lakes are close by. For a spot of sightseeing, you can take the train to London from Polegate. Beach 8 miles. Shop, pub, and restaurant 1¼ miles.
The Shepherd’ Hut at Calvesfield Shaw can be booked together with Moorhen (UK41448) and Badgers (UK46750) to accommodate up to 8 guests.
