Description

Nestled in Woodingdean with direct access to the South Downs, our peaceful, art-filled 2-bedroom house is ideal for visiting faculty, scholars, or research fellows. Located just 10 minutes from Sussex and Brighton Universities (Falmer campus) and 15 minutes from central Brighton, it features a warm, homely atmosphere complete with curated books, artwork, a real working fireplace, and a private garden. The home comes fully furnished with an equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and quiet bedrooms. Council Tax is included in the rent, and utility costs are paid separately based on usage—benefiting from our cheap overnight Octopus electricity tariff. As experienced Airbnb hosts with top reviews, we offer a comfortable, seamless stay for responsible academic guests or small families staying for the full January to March period. You will find that staying here offers the perfect location for the universities, but you will genuinely feel immersed in nature, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, while still being within easy reach of town by car or bus. We are served by 4 different bus lines as well as an hourly night bus. From our home, you are a 15-minute drive to the town centre, the woods at Stanmer Park, the town of Lewes with its beautiful shops, the seafront saunas and restaurants in East Brighton and only 5 minutes to the beautiful seaside villages of Ovingdean and Rottingdean.
