Bateman's

Bateman's was the retirement home of the writer and poet Rudyard Kipling. He purchased the house in 1902 and lived there until his death in 1936. Bateman's located in the small English village of Burwash, in the county of East Sussex. The building was probably built in 1634 by a wealthy iron master.

Kipling's wife bequeathed the house to the National Trust, to which it went after her death in 1939. It is now open to the public and a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists who walk in the paths of Kipling. The house was left as it had set up the Kipling once. The decor is a tribute to the 17th century. The heart of the house is Kipling's study, where he wrote some of his most famous works. The house also includes a well-kept English garden and a small hydroelectric power plant, the Kipling built to supply Bateman's power. A place of honor granted to a the Rolls Royce, the Kipling last drove.
