About this property
An exceptional small country estate, set in an idyllic quiet setting being highly accessible for London communications and a plethora of schools. **5 BEDROOMS IN MAIN HOUSE PLUS 4 BEDROOMS IN COTTAGE** Enveloped by the attractive countryside on the eastern edge of Haywards Heath, just outside the village of Scaynes Hill, Lychgate Cottage is a historic home built in 1720 and extended over the years to create a substantial residence. It has been a much-loved family home, a place of shelter for refugees fleeing London during the Second World War, home to the Canadian ‘Van Doos’ Regiment in 1944 and an unofficial officers’ mess on the lead up to D-Day.
