About this house rental
If you’re looking to enjoy the South Downs Way, the charming East Sussex town of Lewes or like the idea of being perched on the edge of an historic old racecourse then consider TOR House. With large comfortable living areas, four bedrooms, a separate three-bedroom annex (available to rent by separate negotiation) and views out across the valley to Lewes, you’re in for a treat. Unique feature items are dotted around the house, including aviation furniture and works by local artists and photographers. This is undoubtedly a house you’ll remember! A wood burning stove, with an ample wood supply, means you’ll be toasty in any weather, any time of the year. There is a fully enclosed garden area for dogs and children to enjoy, while a barbecue and outdoor seating area within easy access of the kitchen makes it even more family friendly and convenient.
TOR House is a 15 minute walk from Lewes Town Centre with its historic medieval castle, shops, many pubs and wide variety of restaurants. The town is a 15 minute drive away from the bustling city of Brighton and Hove whilst the seaside towns of Newhaven, Seaford and Eastbourne are also in easy reach. For opera lovers Glyndebourne is just a few miles away, as is Charleston Farmhouse, made famous by the Bloomsbury set and Virginia Woolf. If you are a history enthusiast, Tor House overlooks the site of the Battle of Lewes where Simon de Montford defeated the army of King Henry 111 in 1264.
TOR house also offers direct access to a complete outdoor experience, off road walking, running, cycling and horse riding. Bikes are available to hire on site, as are stables, so if you would like to bring your equine friends with you to stay we can accommodate that. There is an on-site weekend horse box bar serving a full range of drinks and snacks April to October, where guests are welcome to kick back and relax in a paddock whilst enjoying some of the best views in Sussex! If privacy is required there is access to a private picnic/bar bbq area in front of the historic racecourse buildings, which is perfect for meeting friends, family and games of football etc. Drinks and snacks from the bar can be delivered to you! If it’s a special occasion, party or event you could even hire the whole racecourse!
TOR house is in a unique part of the world surrounded by fascinating places to enjoy and explore. There really is something for everyone!

this was our second time at Tor House. We love the views of the downs from the bedroom windows and the friendly horses all around in the pretty fields. There is lots of space for everyone and rooms are laid out well. Kitchen was great for me to cook in and it has a huge fridge/freezer which helped a great deal.

We rented Tor House from the Friday to the Monday for a wedding in Lewes on the Saturday, the property was clean well looked after and had the perfect mix of being comfortable for the adults and safe and sensible for the kids.
Highly recommend this property

Great accommodation - cosy and welcoming - a Christmas tree had been put up for us. Comfortable beds. Plenty of storage in fridge for Christmas food. Weather broke so able to take advantage of lovely walks.

A wonderful property in a fabulous location. Extrememly clean and plenty of space for 8 adults. To make this even better, a basic kitchen/bathroom pack would be good - extra tea towels, dishcloth, binbags salt, pepper, handwash, toilet rolls in bathrooms etc. Very monor observations and we were able to buy these in Lewes. A very nice host and plenty of walks, scenery and a church without walls available right on your doorstep. Would have no hesitation in going again. Thank you for sharing your home.

Peacefull and spacious.
We were looking for a quiet property that was near to the Brighton area but far enough away that we could relax in peace. We found this one to be just perfect, out on the edge of the South Downs but with the amenities of Lewes just down the road and only 10 mins to Brighton.
The house was clean and warm, and really spacious with 5 adults and a small child we had plenty of room. We would definately stay again and take the time to explore all the area has to offer.
