The property is located within the rural village of Burwash, set well back from the high street and accessed off a private shared drive, which leads from a no-through lane.
Burwash is approximately 5.3 miles to the north-west of Robertsbridge and 6.2 miles to the north-east of Heathfield.
A mainline railway station at Stonegate (3.9 miles) provides regular and direct train services into London Charing Cross, with journey times taking approximately 70 minutes.
