Location & Area Awareness - The property is set at the end of a long private lane on the fringes of the village of Nutley, in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, located on the Ashdown Forest (over which the property has Commoners' Rights and with direct access to off road riding on the forest with no roadwork required). Nutley is a thriving village and offers a village shop, two restaurants, church and primary school, while more comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities are found at Uckfield, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells. The Ashdown Forest extends to approximately 6,500 acres, two-thirds of which is heathland, and was once used as a medieval hunting ground; it is also famously the 'home' of A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh. The Forest provides spectacular walking and horse-riding opportunities (permit required) and is a fascinating place for anyone with an interest in conservation. Throughout the county of Sussex there is a superb cultural and arts scene, with world-class opera at Glyndebourne, theatre at Royal Tunbridge Wells and the annual Brighton Festival presenting a huge programme of theatre, dance, classical music and literary events. The area offers excellent transport links with mainline rail services from Haywards Heath (London Bridge/Victoria from 42 minutes). The M25 orbital motorway can be accessed via the A23, linking to other motorway networks, Gatwick airport (17 miles) and central London (55 miles). There are many highly regarded state and independent schools in the area, including Brambletye, Ardingly College, and Cumnor House prep school in Danehill.
