HOLIDAY LETTING COTTAGE DEMAND: There is usually good demand for good quality holiday rental cottages, which in high season, could easily possibly achieve circa £1,500 a week and due to the attraction of Sussex, there is normally a good level of interest throughout the year at differing holiday rental rates.

LOCATION: Situated off a very quiet country lane in a rural area on the outskirts of Dallington and backing onto grass paddocks with views beyond of woodland.

Dallington village is a quiet Sussex village with the local Swan Inn and restaurant, local post office and shop, as well as a charming Church and many wonderful woodland walks through Dallington Wood.

The country towns of Heathfield and Battle are also within only a short drive, as well as the south coast beaches of Pevensey and Eastbourne for sailing and other seaside pursuits.

There are also numerous mainline train stations within the general locality, including Stonegate, Etchingham and Battle, making this property perfect for a weekend holiday cottage venue, in addition to weekly breaks.
