Bateman's, 17th-century English country house in Burwash, England.
Bateman's is a 17th-century country house with a sandstone exterior featuring decorative gables and tall chimneys. The building sits within a maintained garden with mature trees and traditional plantings that surround the main structure.
Writer Rudyard Kipling purchased the property in 1902 and lived there until his death in 1936. His widow later transferred it to the National Trust, which has operated it as a museum since then.
The rooms display personal belongings from Kipling's years here, including his desk with handwritten manuscripts and notes. Visitors can see how the writer arranged his daily life and what surrounded him while working.
The National Trust operates the house with seasonal opening hours, offering longer access from February through October. Winter months feature shorter opening times, so checking current hours before your visit is advisable.
The property includes a 13th-century water mill powered by the River Dudwell that Kipling incorporated into his garden plans. The mill remains visible and shows how water was used to power the estate.
