  • Access Statement for Greystead Old Church
    ACCESS STATEMENT FOR GREYSTEAD COACH HOUSE Revised June 2015 Introduction Our self-catering cottage, built in 1818 as a Coach House and stables for the nearby Rectory, with an addition from approximately 1930, opened to visitors in 2004. It stands in the grounds of our Georgian rectory, and has its own gravelled entrance and large Walled Garden (shared with owners, who use it only for gardening/access to the tennis court and have their own recreational space elsewhere). The all-weather tennis court is shared with the owners and visitors to Greystead Old Church (see below). We have tried to include as much information as possible in this access statement, but please do telephone us if you have any queries. We look forward to welcoming you. In 2013 we opened a second holiday property on site at Greystead Old Church, sleeping 8. For large parties, the two properties can be booked together, sleeping up to 14. Pre-Arrival • Our website is: greysteadholidaycottages.com • We also have a website via Sykes Holiday Cottages on www.SykesCottages.co.uk (property ref: 1096) • Bookings/enquiries can be made by email or phone (details below). • The area has no regular bus service, and the nearest station is 23 miles, so the property is essentially suited to those coming by car. • Online shopping for home delivery is available via Tesco or Asda.
