Fontridge Lane is a lovely rural lane on the outskirts of Burwash, one of the most sought after villages in the area, with its High Street, lined with Lime Trees and consisting of period properties. It has retained its village shops and two pubs. It also has a village green (Swan Meadow) with tennis and basketball courts, cricket pitch, playground and village hall. There is a primary school and a village church, a medical centre and a range of local clubs and societies. Surrounding the village are many public footpaths, including walks around the National Trust land belonging to Batemans, the home of Rudyard Kipling. There are other National Trust open houses and gardens in the area, including Pashley Manor. A bus service runs through the village to either Etchingham Main Line station or to Heathfield Community College and the town itself, then on to Tunbridge Wells or Eastbourne. The two main line stations, Etchingham and Stonegate, are easily accessible in under 10 minutes' drive. For shopping, Heathfield is 6 miles distant with a large range of shops, supermarkets and general amenities, along with regular markets. The historic town of Battle is only 8 miles and also offers a good range of shopping facilities, schooling and amenities.
