The Experience
A beautifully renovated L-shaped wood-clad barn close to Tunbridge Wells and Winnie-the-Pooh’s home – Ashdown Forest. It is part of a small farm complex perched on a hill above Eridge with owner Helen living in the farmhouse next door and a listed oast house to gaze at from your flagged terrace.
High-spec insulation, underfloor heating and a heat source pump keep you toasty and the well-designed kitchen has a handy central island for cooks to get stuck in. The combined kitchen/diner/living space is the hub of the house with a vaulted ceiling and you’re just steps from the sunny terrace for barbecues. Later you can snuggle together in front of the smart TV, choose a good read from the stuffed bookcase or play board games. There’s fast WiFi for those who want to skulk off to their own room – three homely country-chic bedrooms are off the corridor.
Strike out on the footpath just metres from the door; visit Glyndebourne and Scotney Castle.

Introducing
Helen Raikes
Helen bought the farm back in 1986, letting it to a tenanted farmer until 2008 when she moved here, initially living in the oast house before moving permanently into the farmhouse. Her careful, eco-friendly renovation of the barn opened to guests in 2024.
Set between Bullfinch farmhouse and a listed oast house at the end of a track high up in the hills above Eridge, this beautifully restored barn provides a peaceful bolthole for six people. You can walk to Eridge station for trains to London, the Vanguard Way passes close by, and Hever Castle, Tunbridge Wells, the South Downs, and the Ashdown Forest for glorious walks are just a short drive away.
