Location Summary

The property occupies a generously sized plot in a central position within this idyllic village set in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Slaugham (pronounced ‘Slafam’), is a pretty village much untouched by time with just the one main street, called 'Park Road' where its core population resides.

The village, steeped in history, is bestowed with some unique features; the country’s only Grade II Listed white telephone box which sits just yards from the property, along with one of two unique lamp posts bearing the Royal Crown. The ‘Village Tap’ (no longer working) now carries the village notice board and The Norman church of St. Mary’s, dates to the 12th century.

Public footpaths and bridleways are on the doorstep for enjoying country walks and exploring the surrounding historical sites, countryside and lakes including Furnace Pond, popular with anglers, as well as the picturesque Mill Pond, Slaugham Place ruins and the Norman church, St Mary’s.

Close-by is the village of Handcross with shops catering for daily needs, along with pubs and the National Trust’s Nymans House and Gardens. The village of Staplefield, approx. a mile distant, enjoys two country pubs overlooking its village green and cricket field. The larger village of Cuckfield (with its secondary school, Warden Park Academy, being in the catchment) is within a 10-minute drive and boasts a picturesque High Street with numerous niche speciality shops and a wealth of eateries including The Ockenden Hotel and Spa and The Talbot gastro pub. Further, more extensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Haywards Heath and Horsham.
