About this property
A stunning and substantial portion of an exceptional Victorian country house, Ashdown House East is nestled within beautiful, mature gardens and grounds.

The property instantly impresses: a curved brick entrance leads to a shared driveway, followed by a private, gated approach and formal turning circle ahead of the house, which has striking crenelations, and warm sandstone elevations under a slate tiled roof.
