"Three decades ago, Christopher Broadbent bought an old farm worker's two-bedroom cottage in the East Sussex countryside. The founder of a consultancy firm carried out a Damascene conversion of the house, doubling its size, and bought 50 acres of farming land around it for a nature reserve and a glamping business.
