HOLE COTTAGE
Markbeech, Kent

This is the cross-wing of a late medieval timber framed hall-house, of high quality, the rest of which was pulled down in 1833. It lies by a small stream in a woodland clearing and, curiously enough, is easily accessible by railway, since it is only a 15 minute walk through the wood from Cowden station.

The Hole still has the true feeling of the Weald and of the deep woods in whose drop and shade the forges and furnaces of the Sussex ironmasters were established. This despite the great storm of October 1987.

The cottage is set in a magical position in the heart of Falconhurst Estate where the stresses of the 21st century can be left behind. It is managed by the Landmark Trust and more details can be found on their website: www.landmarktrust.co.uk
