Description

Sited on the remains of the medieval Sedgwick Castle, Sedgwick Park House is a magnificent landmark property, believed to date from the 17th century and listed Grade II - of 'special architectural and historic importance'. In the late 1800s the property was acquired by the Henderson family who enlisted the architect Ernest George to substantially remodel the house in a handsome Arts & Crafts style, exemplified by its charming asymmetrical façade, the variety of both traditional and local materials used in its construction, and the skilled craftmanship shown in the wealth of oak panelling, the carved chimneypieces and the stone mullioned windows. The striking square tower in the southern western corner was added in 1904.

The property remains in private ownership, happily retaining its period charm and having been further restored by the current owner, including the renovation of the second floor to create a number of charming bedrooms and suites. The house is extremely versatile and remains an exciting project for the next custodian: it has an established history as an occasional wedding venue, wellness centre and open garden, and would make an ideal boutique hotel or retreat (subject to the necessary permissions and consents). In addition, the West Wing (formerly the service wing) offers the opportunity for further restoration to provide substantially more accommodation.

The full extent of the accommodation in the main house extends to nearly 15,500 square feet, comprising six beautifully proportioned formal reception rooms, and 15 bedrooms arranged over the upper two floors. The West Wing extends to a further 3,500 square feet.

The gardens and grounds of Sedgwick Park House are of particular note, designed during the Henderson's ownership by landscape architect and garden designer Harold Peto, who often worked alongside George and created some of the finest gardens in England, inspired mainly by the Italianate style but always in sympathy with the surrounding English countryside.

Parkland, meadows and woodland surround the house, extending to approximately 60 acres. The formal gardens are beautiful, lying largely to the south of the house and include a south terrace, formal and informal lawns and a spectacular Italian-inspired garden featuring 20 interlinking ponds, an impressive ship themed water garden known as the 'White Sea'. There is also a swimming pool and a turf labyrinth with superb far-reaching views to the distinctive ridge of the South Downs in the distance.
