Number 5

Step through the door at Number 5 and you enter a ground-floor living and dining room that opens onto the main social space. The kitchen sits adjacent, equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, gas hob, microwave and all the basics needed to prepare meals rather than just heat them. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a shower room. The essentials are covered: heating, electricity, linen, towels and wifi are included, and one small car can park in the garage. An enclosed garden with seating offers a private outdoor space.

The cottage sits in Pevensey Bay, a coastal village in Wealden, within walking distance of the shingle beach. Pevensey Castle and its Norman heritage draw history enthusiasts; the town has shops and restaurants for everyday needs. One dog can stay free. No smoking is permitted. From here, Eastbourne is accessible for a larger seaside day out, while Brighton and the High Weald countryside lie within reasonable reach for those wanting to explore beyond the immediate shoreline.
