About this property

Stunning converted Old Post Office in Keymer - Close Ditchling Brighton Lewes

A wonderful converted Old Village Post Office - the Post Box still used by locals! In the glorious Sussex Countryside yet less than an hour away from London and 10 minutes from Brighton by train. It has been decorated to the highest standard and has a light and modern feel. Perfect for short and long term lets and also for business visitors with its fast Wi-Fi. Accommodation is a sunny Lounge with small sofa bed and large South Facing Window seat (perfect for reading /watching world go by or snoozing !) Large bedroom with a super-king size bed (can be divided into 2 standard size single beds) Wardrobe and chest of drawers. Large bathroom with walk in Shower (there is a bath but have not included as this unfortunately is very slow running, so probably best not to consider the bath!) Kitchenette with full size oven/hob, built in fridge/freezer and cupboards containing essential cooking equipment as well as tea and coffee.
Parking opposite is free ! The Village Pub is across the road. You may wish to do the lovely walk across fields (can drive 2 mins ) to Ditchling - a beautiful Village with Church and Pond, award winning Pub 'The Bull' and White Horse, 2 cafes and a Deli and Art museum. Hassocks is a 10 minute walk in the other direction with 2 little supermarkets, chemist, hairdresser, bank and lots of lovely cafes, also the Main Line Railway Station (London 50 minutes) Brighton (8 Min) Lovely walks abound and close to 'South Downs National Park'(a designated area of outstanding beauty) as well as great for Brighton, Sussex University, Lewes, Gatwick, Glyndbourne, Hickstead and Plumpton Racecourse's and of course Ditchling's Vineyards !

Uncomfortable if elderly
We lived in Hassocks/Keymer for 40 years and wanted somewhere agreeable to stay while looking up friends and acquaintances. Although the beds in The Old Post Office, Keymer, were comfortable, this is not suitable accommodation for elderly people like us. The seating soon becomes uncomfortable. Is it too much to expect two easy armchairs and a medium size coffee table when staying for a week? There is ample space. In the bathroom, the toilet works well and so does the shower, if you are careful with the droopy showerhead. But the supply of hot water to the hand basin depends on you finding and switching the immersion heater on. (The thermostat is set to lukewarm.) Yes, energy prices have gone up, but really! It is best not to think of using the bath. A bidet would be a sensible replacement. Kitchen arrangements are adequate, given that both Keymer and Hassocks have many and varied eateries and take-aways, which we used. We cut our stay short and will not stay again.

Great location for exploring the South Downs area
Cute little self catering apartment with a superbly comfortable bed to relax in after long walks across the South Downs and surrounding area. Excellent proximity to Hassocks station to visit Brighton with ease and then return to the peace of the countryside.

Lovely stay at the Post Office
Post Office is elegant and just a bit quirky with its old shop layout. On a fairly busy town road but made for an entertaining place to sit in the lovely window seat and watch world go by, and the back bedroom was quiet and comfortable. Didn't get a chance to use the kitchen - instead strolled to JJ's café in Hassock for a fab breakfast and in to Ditchling for a good pub dinner at the White Horse. Michelle was a lovely host - and we really appreciated being able to check in early. (Oh, and the wedding went without a hitch!)

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Coe

Host profile image

I work in Travel and have spent many nights in various 5 star hotels - I wanted the apartment to be comfortable without compromising style. I love walking and cycling and the area is great for this.

Why they chose this property

Our family home was opposite, we moved from Brighton as was getting too busy and wanted more space for our children. Originally it was the Village Post Office, however I bought it when the Post Master retired. It has been sympathetically restored.

What makes this property unique

It is in a really enviable position, as is so close to Brighton and Lewes and yet is at the foot of the South Downs, with Ditchling Village just along the Road, and Hurstpierpoint, also a beautiful village. There is a village pub opposite and a historic Church a few meters away. Also it is a converted Old Post Office with the box still being used by locals. If you love walking/cycling and yet love the City life - this is great!

Also the apartment is extremely sunny as is South Facing, and decorated to a very high standard.
