Medieval thatched cottage and picturesque garden
This rare 14th-century Wealden 'hall house' was the first building to be acquired by the National Trust, in 1896.
The thatched, timber-framed house is in an idyllic setting, with views across the River Cuckmere, and surrounded by a delightful, tranquil cottage garden featuring a magnificent Judas tree.
