Daniel Day-Lewis spent much of his childhood here, when his grandfather owned Apedroc. Now a 110 acre stud farm breeding racehorses, this timelessly beautiful setting is also home to peacocks, rare-breed sheep, deer and comical goats. In spring, Apedroc's woods are awash with bluebells and in summer old English roses abound. Apedroc is set on the edge of the historic Ashdown Forest, once the home of Winnie the Pooh and his friends. Pooh Sticks Bridge is a brief step away, and there are three very traditional old English pubs within a mile. On summer Sundays there is village cricket to watch on the Croft in the quintessentially English village of Hartfield. The great houses at Hever Castle, Penshurst Place, Scotney Castle and Chartwell are close by, as are the dramatic gardens at Sheffield Park, Wakehurst Place and Gravetye Manor. The historic towns of Lewes, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells are within easy reach, and the dramatic splendour of the South Downs, towering over the sea, are less than 30 miles away. Local vineyards, such as Rathfinny and Bluebell, are now the place to find some of England's finest wines. You could take a trip on the charmingly-preserved Bluebell steam railway or a magical night of opera at Glyndebourne is a possibility, as is a visit to Alfriston, quaint former home of Virginia Woolf. Alternatively, you can just stay here & drink champagne on the terrace, as the sun sets over the fields and the stars glisten in a peaceful country sky. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - In-room accessibility - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106920000/106919600/106919535/3cbd9d94.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Coach House in countryside.
