A quality conversion of a former coach house, this detached Kingscote cottage is one of several properties located in the grounds of Mill Place Farm in the hamlet of Kingscote, surrounded by undulating pastures in the Medway Valley, and with the river Medway meandering through the centre of this working livestock farm. Mill Place Farmhouse is believed to be one of the oldest houses in Sussex, dating back from 1320, and this beautiful hall looks down into the valley where the The Coach House is located. The Coach House is a very well-equipped Kingscote cottage, offering open plan modern living on the ground floor, plus two good size bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The private patio area with garden furniture and a barbeque is a great spot for outdoor dining, and guests to this Kingscote cottage enjoy shared use of the grounds, and it is only a lovely 200 metre walk leading to two lakes, wonderful for picnics. At the main entrance leading down to this Kingscote cottage is a bridge where the steam train passes by, plus a local riding school for those who wish to enjoy the beautiful countryside from horseback. A welcoming Kingscote cottage, ideal for a family or romantic break.

Previous visitors' comments about The Coach House:
It was gloriously remote, yet really very close to everything we needed. The closeness of the Bluebell Line was a delightful surprise! A great spot and we would cheerfully use The Coach House again as a base for another UK visit, if it's still available.
Mr Clough, Mundaring, September 2011
A breathtaking first step-in! Spacious property with lovely furniture and decoration with much attention to detail. A warm and cosy place, just lovely. An excellent result in trying to preserve old style with attention to modern requirements, especially a dish washer!
Mrs Obermayr, Eglharting, August 2011
The location was very good, and the cottage itself was interesting.
Mr Locke, Roleystone, June 2011
Pleasant cheerful welcome. Readiness to listen and deal with any issues. Great location. The accommodation was warm, comfortable, light and airy. The kitchen was remarkably well equipped. The location was quiet but very convenient to major transport connections.
