Higham House is positioned at the head of a long drive and is surrounded by its extensive gardens and grounds. Its elevated setting commands views over the wonderful Sussex countryside.

It is constructed of rendered brick under a tile roof with accommodation arranged over three floors and extending to over 16,000 sq. ft.

The house has been comprehensively refurbished and remodelled since being purchased in 2000. There is an excellent blend of modern and traditional, as it retains its wonderful elegant reception rooms while combining a more recent extension designed for modern day living. There are five reception rooms arranged around an inner hall, providing the formal space suitable for entertaining. The modern extension is nothing short of spectacular, with a 12m indoor swimming pool complex overlooked by the 55 foot kitchen/breakfast room and library of similar size.

The first floor accommodation is equally well proportioned and accessed via an impressive cantilevered staircase rising from the reception hall to the galleried first floor landing. There is a generous principle bedroom suite comprising bedroom, two dressing rooms and two bathrooms. There are four further bedrooms and three further bathrooms on the first floor, with a further bedroom and bathroom on the second floor. The laundry room is conveniently positioned on the first floor. There is plenty of storage space available including an attic room on the third floor. The arrangement of the accommodation is versatile and the second floor accommodation could easily be arranged as a separate self-contained flat.

The guest house is constructed of rendered brick under a tile roof, in a similar fashion to the main house. This has also been subject to extensive refurbishment and has accommodation arranged over two floors extending to 2,227 sq. ft. The accommodation includes a sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen and utility room on the ground floor and three bedrooms, two bathrooms on the first floor.

Further to the west of the house and accessed via a spur off the main drive, are a series of outbuildings including a garage block constructed of rendered brick under a slate roof with space for three cars. Moving further west creating a courtyard are further substantial outbuildings including garaging for four cars, a workshop and a staff room.

The gardens and grounds are an important feature of the property and compliment the house providing a wonderful setting and creating a high degree of privacy and protection. There are some wonderful features within the gardens and grounds, including the formal lawns, a stunning Italian garden, a water garden and a substantial kitchen garden. Extending beyond the formal gardens, predominately to the east and west are paddocks and woodland, providing the most stunning rural setting. In all the gardens and grounds extend to 70.37 acres.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
