Dormans Park, West Sussex

The property is situated in a secluded corner of this private estate. The origins of Dormans Park date back to the 1800s. It originally comprised of over 200 acres of farmland and woodland. Following the arrival of the railway, with London just 28 miles away, it became a peaceful environment in which to live. Today, it offers an interesting variety of houses, both old and new, in tranquil surroundings. Dormansland village is just over 1 mile away with Church, post office and village shop, whilst Lingfield is 2.5 miles, offering local shopping facilities, and the renowned Racecourse. For more comprehensive shops, including Waitrose, the old market town of East Grinstead is about 2.5 miles away. There is an excellent choice of independent schools in the area, including Lingfield College, Brambletye, Ardingly College, Worth and Cumnor House. For commuters, Dormans Station can be accessed via a footpath. For the international traveller, Gatwick airport is about 9 miles distant.

Nestled amidst greenbelt woodland, the property was originally built around the turn of the last century as the lodge to the neighbouring country house. There are attractive elevations of part mellow stone. The accommodation is extremely adaptable to include three bedrooms to the first floor and four reception rooms on the ground floor. The property has been in the same family ownership for the last 60 years and would now benefit from upgrading to a buyers own style and taste. Stepping outside, there is the benefit of a detached garage and large detached agricultural barn. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, where there are large expanses of lawns and wonderful views over the large pond.
