Superbly situated on the tranquil rural outskirts of Ardingly is this stunning
apartment, which forms the east wing of this handsome and characterful
Victorian residence. Brook House, with its Tudor Revival architecture, was
originally used as a shooting lodge for the royal family and members of the
gentry, later substantially extended in the late 1800s and then converted to
separate apartments. The property is set within sizeable communal grounds,
over which there are lovely far - reaching views.
The East Wing is a very spacious apartment of about 1966 sq ft, situated on
the first floor of the house and with views on three sides, most notably to
the south and west. The interiors are elegant and grand, with generous
proportions throughout, large windows and a number of character features such
as stained - glass windows, original fireplaces and decorative coving. The
kitchen and bathrooms are modern with high quality fixtures and fittings and
the cosmetic décor is mostly neutral, providing great scope for
personalisation by the new owner.
The layout is well planned with most rooms leading off a split - level entrance
hall; a large open plan reception room adjoins a separate kitchen with its own
private balcony. There is a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, two
further bedrooms and a shower room, plus a store and a utility cupboard.
**Outside**
The substantial residence is situated within impressive communal grounds of
about 16 acres, including rolling lawns, rose gardens, paddocks, woodland,
ponds and terraces, with paths and seating areas providing restful places to
stroll and enjoy the peace and quiet. Leisure amenities include a cricket oval
with pavilion and an all - weather tennis court for residents’ use. The property
is approached by a long, sweeping, rhododendron - flanked driveway which leads
through the park - like grounds to a circular gravel driveway where there is
ample parking. The property also benefits from its own private terrace.
**Situation**
Brook House is situated on the outskirts of the idyllic rural village of
Highbrook, located between the larger villages of Ardingly and Lindfield both
offering a variety of village facilities and high street shopping. More
comprehensive shopping can be found in Haywards Heath, East Grinstead,

(4 miles) from Haywards Heath mainline station offering fast and regular
