Bateman’s

Bateman's is a 17th-century Jacobean-style house that was the refuge of famous writer Rudyard Kipling from 1902 until his death in 1936.

The property encompasses 300 acres of picturesque High Weald countryside with small fields, hedgerows, old trees and hidden ponds.

The house retains its original furnishings, including oak furniture and Persian carpets that reflect Kipling's connection to India. You can see the study where he wrote his most famous works, such as 'If-' and 'Puck of Pook's Hill'.

The grounds also include an 18th-century watermill, which was a beloved site of the writer and appears in his stories.
