Chiddingly (1 mile) is a very pretty village with two local pubs and a tap room, village shop, primary school and friendly community. Horam has more amenities (1.8 miles) with a Co-Op, local shops, vets, doctors etc. There are also local clubs including tennis and golf, riding school, pre school and playing field. Heathfield and Hailsham both offer more extensive amenities and facilities, supermarkets and medical centres and are both just over 4 miles distant. The main line stations at Buxted and Polegate are both about 8 miles distant.

DIRECTIONS. From the centre of Horam proceed on the Eastbourne Road A267 for 1.8 miles. Turn right into Swansbrook Lane, marked by a white finger post to Gun Hill. The property will be found further along the lane on the right.

Agents Note: The larger of the reception rooms was an extension and above is an obvious place to think about extending to add a fourth bedroom and second bathroom.
