This stunning property dates from 1889-90 and is believed to have been built as a country estate for the Camp Coffee family. The estate comprised 239 acres with several cottages, farm, and beautiful lakes and gardens that were planned by landscape architect Thomas H.Mawson.

The property enjoys the best of both worlds, occupying a semi-rural location and enjoying complete privacy, yet within easy reach of local schools and Haywards Heath mainline station.

The grand reception hall sets the tone for the remainder of the house, with the elegant staircase, wood panelling, moulded ceiling and breath-taking views.

On the ground floor there are 5 Principal reception rooms, all enjoying many fine features, an orangery, a beautiful kitchen with breakfast room, and a large secondary kitchen for food preparation. The cellars are in remarkable condition, and comprise of several rooms with excellent ceiling heights, allowing for numerous uses which could include strong rooms or a gymnasium.

On the first floor are 6 bedroom suites, with 3-4 secondary bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. The cottage has been extensively refurbished, and is very comfortable for guests, family or staff quarters.

Externally the grounds have been maintained to the finest standards, complementing the main house, which is clear as you approach through the main entrance. Within the gardens are a formal croquet lawn, and a swimming pool set within an enclosed courtyard with a separate kitchen, changing rooms, and the original Astronomers Observatory, which is an architectural masterpiece within itself.

Extensive terraces adjoin the house and include a walled garden with ponds. The majority of the gardens slope from the house and are laid to lawn. Beyond this are some quite outstanding terraced areas which were laid out in Victorian times with local stone, making up several steps and pathways flanked by imposing natural rock formations, all interspersed with numerous specimen trees and shrubs offering a range of colours throughout the year, particularly in the Spring.

The garage block was recently rebuilt to a very high standard, ideal for a car collection and with the added bonus of an internal bar. In addition there is a carport beyond the main house.
