'That's She! The Only She! Make an honest woman of her – quick!' was how Rudyard Kipling and his wife, Carrie, felt the first time they saw Bateman's. Surrounded by the wooded landscape of the Sussex Weald, this 17th-century house, with its mullioned windows and oak beams, provided a much needed sanctuary to this world-famous writer. The rooms, described by him as 'untouched and unfaked', remain much as he left them, with oriental rugs and artefacts reflecting his strong association with the East. Bateman's is very much a family home, but impressive none the less. Note: the garden, shop and tea-room are open free of charge in November and December
- Soak up the atmosphere in Kipling's book-lined study.
- Enjoy the serenity of the Formal Garden.
- Walk by the river as it flows through the meadow.
