Fancy Living In Winnie The Pooh’s Back Garden?

From fairytale farmhouses to spectacular castles, there’s nothing better than a property that could have been plucked from a picture book – and this 1930s home is no exception. Nestled within Ashdown Forest (also known as Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood), it’s a house brimming with charm…

The House At Pooh Corner: A Cottage In Ashdown Forest Is Up For Sale

Want to make your cottagecore dreams come true? This picture-perfect home could be just the ticket. Perched on a hilltop within Ashdown Forest, it commands glorious countryside views – and since the forest served as the basis of A.A Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh books, you could say that this is one of the most magical houses on the market.

A.A Milne himself once lived on the edge of the forest, and eventually used it as inspiration for Winnie the Pooh’s enchanted home: the Hundred Acre Wood. Almost a century later, Pooh’s legacy lives on; the nearby village of Hartfield even contains the beloved Pooh Corner tearoom.

The property itself enjoys direct access into the forest via a handy bridlepath (the four-acre plot is, in fact, complete with its own stable block and manège). The immaculate grounds also encompass formal lawns, a paved terrace and a heated swimming pool with a detached pool house.

Inside the main house, you’ll find four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms including a dining room, TV room and a handsome living room fitted with a wood burner. The dining room, sitting room and the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room all lead onto a rear terrace overlooking the garden.

Back outside, meanwhile, you’ll spot a detached double garage with an open-plan studio apartment above – plus more garaging and an additional detached studio. Oh, and Pooh Sticks Bridge is only a short stroll away…
