Description The Abode of Words: Hartley Mauditt

Set on a sprawling vineyard estate covering over eighty acres of woodland and farmland, we found this charming open-plan home to be an ideal escape from the city. Being a loft flat, the sunlight pours in from skylights here, and the inclusion of a freestanding bathtub is a welcome addition after a hike. There's even a small terrace – perfect for enjoying a twilight glass of local wine, no? If you get itchy feet, you'll find South Downs National Park nearby, along with plenty of picturesque villages and towns.

Home truths:
*Due to this home's location, you will need a car here. There’s free private parking.
*Guests will need to climb an external staircase leading up to the entrance here.
*There is a small oven and hob here, but no microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*This is an open-plan apartment, although there are curtains to partition the sleeping area.
*Due to this home's location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
