Manor Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 1LR
Manor House is an individually traditionally built, carefully designed and well-appointed family home in a mature setting, in the heart of East Grinstead.
East Grinstead is an ancient market town situated near the East Sussex, Surrey and Kent
borders, just 27 miles south of London and 21 miles northeast of Brighton. It has a population of
approximately 27,000.
Set on a sandstone ridge beside the Ashdown Forest, East Grinstead is capital of the High Weald
area of Outstanding Natural beauty. Its historic buildings are now home to a variety of friendly
independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants including a historic coaching inn. Down the high
street, timber-beamed buildings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries nestle amongst
those built in Georgian and Regency times. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the town is less
than a ten minute drive away from Kingscote Valley, Weir Wood reservoir and the national trust
site at Standen. Alternately, you can ride through this beautiful part of England on the Bluebell
steam railway, the stations of which have been built in the traditional Queen Anne style and
have featured on television and in films, including Downton Abbey, Muppets Most Wanted Movie
and Churchill’s Secret. East Grinstead’s road and rail links connect it easily with London, Royal
Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. In the heart of the town and approximately a mile away from the
train station and the historic high street and its contemporary amenities, Manor House is ideal for
growing families, first time buyers, commuters and those working from home.

Perfectly situated on the borders
of East Sussex, Surrey and Kent in
beautiful countryside surroundings, yet
close to Brighton and London…offering
the best in contemporary living.
In East Grinstead itself, there is plenty to be occupied with.
Alongside the usual amenities you would expect from a
town this size, a wander through the high street is taking
a walk through English history. Visit Sackville House, a
beautiful Landmark trust property built around 1520. Enter
the yard to escape the bustle of 21st Century life to enjoy
the tranquillity of the large peaceful garden through the
yard.
Framed by extensive courtyards, the small passageways
leading off the high street meander past old coaching
inns and pubs with beer gardens. East Grinstead is a far
cry from the cloned high street of many towns which are
choked by modern malls and large chain shops. Here
small independent retailers display their wares from within
the walls of the Tudor-beamed buildings, allowing you to
step back in time with every visit to town.
Alternately, you can while away a lazy Sunday exploring
the house and grounds at nearby Hammerwood Park,
located less than 4 miles from Manor House. Built and
designed in 1792 by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect
of the White House and US Capitol Building in Washington,
the residence was owned for a while by rock band Led
Zeppelin. Housing a collection of musical instruments,
Hammerwood remains one of Britain’s best-kept secrets:
an architectural gem, a family home and a venue for
concerts and filming.
