The space
Cotchford Farm is a unique Grade II listed farmhouse, spread over three floors with some bedrooms and en-suites tucked under the eaves. The original historic features of the house have been carefully restored while modern additions in the bathrooms and reception areas allow for an exceptionally comfortable stay. The main reception room, with large inglenook fireplace, includes the former study where Milne wrote the Winnie the Pooh stories and a collection of first edition AA Milne books. One upstairs bedroom was Christopher Robin’s old room and original decorative cupboards painted by Mrs Milne are preserved in the striking master bathroom.
Above all, Cotchford is a cosy and welcoming country family home as well as an historic building. You can sit by the open fire with friends, or curl up on a sofa with a book in one of the sitting rooms, bake bread in the farmhouse kitchen, or explore the winding staircases of the upper floors.
It is surrounded by a mature country garden of about 5 acres with outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. It is at the edge of the protected Ashdown Forest, home to the 100 acre wood, with open country views over the Forest woods.
Brian Jones, founding band member of The Rolling Stones, was among the several owners since the Milne family.
Guests can access the entire house, garden, pool and tennis court. Due to the age of the property there are low beams in places, narrow stairs to reach bedrooms on two higher floors, and some sloping floors. Unfortunately therefore this is not an accessible property and children must be supervised on stairs at all times.
