About Sackville House: Built about 1520, this is a substantial timber-framed house with rooms of wood and lime plaster and the patina of centuries past. When you enter the yard you escape the bustle of modern day East Grinstead and find yourself in a large, peaceful garden. It was rescued in 1919 and The Landmark Trust took on this atmospheric property in 1995 so that others, such as you, could enjoy it.
In addition to having 2 single, 2 twin, and 1 double bed, Sackwell House comes furnished with:
Cot
Fire or Stove
Open Space
Logs available
Parking Available
Bath
Dishwasher
Microwave
Shower
Waitrose Delivery
Perhaps what is most exceptional about Sackville House lies beyond. East Grinstead was laid out in the thirteenth century, a street of houses each with a long plot of land behind, called a portland. Most of these have since been divided and built on. Only in one small area, opposite the church, do they survive in anything like their original form. The garden here, some 630 feet long, slopes to the south, passing through several stages from formal terrace to wild nuttery. On leaving the sometimes lively High Street and entering the yard, you find yourself with a view of several miles across a wide valley to Ashdown Forest. The contrast, and combination, are delightful.
