Situation
Mill Cottage is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of the village of Boreham Street. The larger village of Herstmonceux lies about 2 miles to the west, and has a primary school, range of shops for everyday needs, including a post office, general store and pharmacy. The historic town of Battle is about 7 miles to the east and has a comprehensive range of shops, restaurants and amenities together with a mainline train station providing services to London (London/Charing Cross in approximately 1 hour 20 minutes). 
The coast at Pevensey is about 5 miles to the south, whilst the coastal, business and entertainment centre of Eastbourne is some 10 miles distant. The historic county town of Lewes is approximately 16 miles to the west.
 
Outside
The double wooden entrance gates to the property are slightly set back from the road and give access to the property's gravel driveway, which leads to a parking area, adjacent to which is a single garage. Attached to the garage is a garden store and to one side of the garden store is a games room. The secluded and partially walled garden is a particular feature of the property. The principle garden lies to the south east and north east sides of the cottage and is mainly laid to lawn with some mature trees and shrubs. Immediately adjacent to the south east side of the house is a very pretty rockery, inset with some mill stones and planted with heathers. Just beyond the rockery is a wooden summer house, adjacent to which is a paved seating area.
