Bateman's
Bateman’s was the retirement home of the writer and poet Rudyard Kipling . He bought the house in 1902 and lived there until his death in 1936. Bateman's is in the small English town of Burwash , in the county of East Sussex . The building was probably built in 1634 by a wealthy iron manufacturer.
Kipling's wife bequeathed the house to the National Trust , which it went to after her death in 1939. It is now open to the public and a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists wandering the Kipling trails. The house was left as the Kipling had once furnished it. The interior pays homage 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 has a well-tended English garden and a small hydroelectric power station that Kipling built to supply Bateman's with electricity. A place of honor was given to the Rolls-Royce that Kipling last drove.
