Self contained suite - 3 min walk to train station

The annex is attached to our house but is private with its own entrance, parking, and small outside area. Best as a suite of rooms: double bedroom, shower room and separate living room/kitchenette. Can be set up with an extra adult Aerobed. Or we can provide 2 camping air beds for children. Great for couples but families welcome. Would also suit a lone guest. 3 minute walk to station with regular trains to London Victoria (1hr) and Brighton (10mins). Not suitable for construction workers. Your own private access provides entry through a (locked) side gate and then through patio doors into your living room. There is a secure area outside (with seating) where you can leave bikes and off road parking when you arrive. The bedroom and living room are linked by your shower room which has a door into both rooms. Versatile accommodation: we can provide up to two blow up single air beds for children (complete with bedding) which can be put either in the double bedroom (in addition to the double bed) or in the living room/kitchenette. Alternatively the living room/kitchenette can be furnished with a comfortable, single sized Aerobed, suitable for an adult. You are welcome to bring your own travel cot too and there is room for this in either the bedroom or living area. The kitchenette has a toaster, kettle, microwave, tabletop hob with mini oven (the hobs take a little while to heat up) and a small fridge. Please be aware of these cooking limitations if you are planning an extended stay. As this is a 'self-contained' suite of rooms there is very limited access to the rest of the house. However, a utility room can be made available by arrangement with a washing machine and tumble drier. Generally speaking we will leave you to get on with your stay in peace! That said, we are more than happy to offer advice and suggestions about things to do locally and will be available to meet you on arrival. Hassocks is nestled between the historic, artistic village of Ditchling (complete with an 'arts and crafts' museum) and the picturesque village of Hurstpierpoint (with a good selection of boutique style independent shops). These villages provide a range of pubs, cafes, and countryside walks. The area is popular with walkers who want to explore the South Downs. There is direct access from the village by foot to the Downs. The area is equally popular with cyclists. We have Hassocks Community Bike Hire next to the train station and a even a dedicated 'cycling cafe' called 'Proper' where you can pick up tips on good cycle routes. In addition, Brighton with all that it has to offer in terms of music, culture, food, drink, shopping and general seaside fun is just a short train or bus ride away. You can be out of the door and in the heart of the quirky North Lanes in 20 minutes! Hassocks train station is 3 minutes walk away: trains to Brighton take 10 minutes, Gatwick 25 minutes and London around 1 hour. There is a taxi office just outside the the station. The nearest bus stop is 5 minutes walk away and busses run regularly to Brighton and other destinations in the surrounding area. By car there is easy access to the whole of the south coast. It takes under 20 minutes to drive to Brighton or Hove. Please note that this is a non-smoking household. We have two primary school children so please expect the normal noise levels associated with family life.
