KingEscape to the Sussex countryside and stay in this beautiful oak-framed barn situated in a quiet rural location overlooking wooded farmland and paddocks, where you can sometimes see horses grazing.
A short drive and a stroll from the village of Newick, Mellifount Farm is conveniently based for visiting Brighton and the towns of Uckfield, Haywards Heath, Lewes and the world-famous Glyndebourne Opera House!
As you step into the barn you are greeted with a sense of calm. The open plan living area is spacious with a vaulted ceiling and homely furnishings making it a welcoming space to unwind and relax after a busy day exploring. Snuggle up on the sofa, take in the countryside views or watch your favourite movie whilst keeping cosy in front of the delightful wood-burner.
The kitchen is compact but well-equipped for rustling up a culinary delight. It has an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine/drier and Nespresso coffee machine.
When the time calls to turn in for the night, you will find two peaceful bedrooms towards the back of the barn that have views overlooking the garden. Both bedrooms have king-size double beds, one with an en suite bathroom and the other bedroom has access to a spacious wet-room.
Double doors from the living area open to the patio and garden. It makes the perfect spot for stargazing, al fresco dining or a lovely spot to watch the horses or taking in the wildlife that frequently visit the paddocks and surrounding countryside.
Please note that the barn is next door to the owners' property and the garden is unfenced so from time to time the owners' small dogs may visit to say hello if you are sitting out in the garden.
You may be lucky to spot the horses grazing in the nearby paddocks but please do not go into the paddocks or stable-area with the horses or feed them.
The nearby village of Newick has three pubs, a bakery, convenience store, cafe and tandoori restaurant. The county town of Lewes is home to an array of antiques shops, a brewery, castle, museum and lots of lovely pubs, restaurants and cafes. Visit the lanes in Brighton or explore the Royal Spa town of Tunbridge Wells and the Pantiles known for its colonnaded walkways.
Pack your hiking boots and take in a countryside walk. You could wander around Chailey Common or perhaps Ashdown Forest - Winnie the Pooh country!
Explore the many attractions that Sussex has to offer. Take in an opera at Glyndebourne Opera House and enjoy a delicious picnic on the lawns. Visit the South of England showground, home to many events throughout the year including antiques fairs. Take in the beautiful gardens of Sheffield Park Gardens, Borde Hill Garden or Wakehurst Place, Kew's wild botanic garden and home to the Millennium Seed Bank. Step aboard the Bluebell Railway or visit the Bluebell Vineyard Estates an award-winning vineyard and winery on the edge of the Ashdown Forest. If you fancy a trip to London, there are direct train connections from Haywards Heath and Uckfield.
Whichever way you plan to spend your time here in Sussex, Mellifount Farm is the perfect bolthole for all your holiday adventures.
