About the home

Birchwood Lodge is a Scandinavian-style bungalow set in glorious countryside in West Sussex. Birchwood Lodge was purpose-built by Scandia Hus in 2002 and is not a conversion from farm buildings. It is located in the grounds of the owners' house which is 100 yards away. Birchwood Lodge has full central heating, triple glazing and a high standard of insulation and is suitable for holiday use in all seasons. There is private parking for one car next to the bungalow.

Birchwood Lodge is at the end of a cul-de-sac lane 2/3rds of a mile from the public highway. There is no passing traffic and there is good access to the countryside for walking via footpaths and bridleways.

Maximum occupancy is two adults and two children in two bedrooms, one double and one twin. A cot can be made available for small guests, as can a high chair. The furniture in the childrens' bedroom is most suitable for pre-secondary school age children. There is a secure fenced area of garden suitable for young children immediately to the rear of Birchwood Lodge. Children's toys can be borrowed by arrangement.

The closest village is Southwater which is about 1 mile distant. There are two pubs in the village itself, the Lintott and the Hen and Chicken. About five miles away lies the ancient market town of Horsham. Other towns and cities within reach are Brighton,Chichester, Crawley, Guildford and London.These are all best accessed by car apart from London. Trains to London from Horsham and Christ's Hospital stations are run by Southern Trains. London is also accessible via the Gatwick Express which runs as a shuttle service between Gatwick Airport station and London, Victoria Station both during the day and at night . Gatwick airport is about 40 minutes drive from Southwater.
