Escape to a haven of serenity aboard this brand-new one-bedroom houseboat, nestled on a picturesque one-acre lake near the charming village of East Hoathly in East Sussex.

This exquisite floating home invites you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds it, with an interior that’s as captivating as the landscape outside. You and your partner will adore the open plan living area that features a huge window perfectly framing the lake views. Get comfy on the big sofa in front of the wood burning fireplace or slide open the glass doors and unwind on the private deck overlooking the water.

The open plan living area has a cool, modern design, and features a kitchen that is nicely equipped for preparing delicious meals during your stay. You can then choose to dine outside overlooking the lake or at the breakfast bar in the warmth of the boat.

When bedtime beckons, head to the double-aspect bedroom, which has yet more generous windows providing lovely views of the surrounding scenery. Wake up in the morning, fling open the curtains, prepare your first coffee of the day and hop back into bed to enjoy a lie in like no other. Before you start the day have a bracing soak in the modern bathroom's walk-in shower.

Wildlife lovers will be enchanted by the frequent visits from the resident kingfisher and the returning Canadian geese, who often bring their fluffy new goslings for a swim. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning surroundings make it easy to imagine you’ve stepped into a living Monet painting. A leisurely walk leads you to the village, where a quaint café, a friendly pub and a convenient village shop await your visit. For those looking to explore, the historic town of Lewes, the vibrant city of Brighton and the seaside allure of Eastbourne are all just a short drive away, offering a variety of attractions and experiences.

The owners have put a lot of thought into making this a cosy and relaxing place. It is spotlessly clean and with everything you could need. Loved watching the kingfishers darting across the lake. It’s really cosy of an evening with the log burner going and it feels very private even though there is another property not too far away. The lovely owners are on site and are very friendly should you need help. Highly recommended!
