Resident
"I moved into the Cottage Homes three years ago after my husband passed away. At first, I was nervous about the change, but I couldn't have found a more welcoming place to call home. My flat is comfortable and warm, and I have my own little space to tend to my potted plants, which brings me such joy. What makes it special is how it's more than just a place to live - it's a proper community. I can be independent, which matters greatly to me, but I never feel alone. Being right next to the church means I can easily attend services, and the location in the heart of Cuckfield means I can still pop to the shops and keep up with village life. The Trust takes wonderful care of the buildings. When my heating needed attention last winter, they had it fixed straight away. It means so much to have this security in my later years, especially as costs seem to be rising everywhere else. I feel truly blessed to live here, and I hope these homes can continue providing the same comfort to others long into the future."
