Burwash is a popular, historic village with a thriving community, located about 13 miles South of Tunbridge Wells and 16 miles North of Hastings in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is best known for its National Trust Grade I listed property, Bateman’s – the former home of Rudyard Kipling.

The historic village has retained many of its High Street facilities including two public houses, a family run butcher’s, a tea/coffee (and cake) shop, friendly Burwash Stores, hairdressers, plus village hall, doctor’s surgery, churches, and an “outstanding” primary school (Ofsted 2024). The surrounding countryside is beautiful and offers lots of walking opportunities.

More comprehensive shopping facilities, including supermarkets, can be found at Heathfield (6.5 miles) and Hawkhurst (8 miles), with Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne/Hastings accessible in about 35 minutes.

Etchingham (about 3 miles) and Stonegate (about 3.6 miles) have stations on the Hastings line to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (Etchingham to London Bridge in about 1hr 6mins).

There are good road links to the local towns and A21, which in turn links to the M25 to the North and coast to the South.
