Deerpark, London Road, East Grinstead, RH19 2RA

Grade II listed Sir Edwin Lutyens-designed single storey residence set within 2.3 acres of park-like grounds, with annexe Description A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed residence designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, one of the most influential figures in British architecture.

Occupying an edge of village position and set within approximately 2.3 acres of mature, park-like grounds, this remarkable property combines architectural distinction, historical significance and versatile accommodation in a wonderful parklike setting.

Built in 1916 as the kennels for the proposed Felbridge Place estate, Deerpark forms part of an ambitious commission: The intended principal house was never realised; however, the kennels and stables were completed, and today they survive as a pair of houses that give a fascinating example of Lutyens' architectural style.

Deerpark was adapted as a lodge and subsequently converted into a private residence and retains a wealth of its original character and period charm.

It was designed in the style of a classical temple and influenced by Sir John Soane's celebrated barns à la Paestum, and is constructed of sandstone blocks beneath hipped Horsham stone slate roofs, with distinctive sandstone chimneystacks.

The house is single storey, and the front elevation is characterised by leaded-light casement windows and an elegant Tuscan colonnade to the front, creating a striking and memorable façade that reflects Lutyens' mastery of proportion and classical design; the eastern elevation retains the frames for the kennel doors, although not all in use today.

The principal house extends to approximately 2,010 sq.

Ft, and the accommodation offers an appealing blend of period character and practical living space, with a flexible layout which is currently arranged as a dining hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory/study, three bedrooms (one en suite), a fourth bedroom being used as an office and a bathroom.

The current owners have begun a programme of improvements including the restoration of a beautiful herring bone parquet floor, conversion of a garage/storeroom into the annexe, and upgrading the bathrooms; and the house offers an excellent opportunity for its next owner to further improve, if desired (and subject to the necessary consents).

Annexe The property is complemented by an outbuilding, which the current owner has significantly renovated create a detached self-contained annexe, providing excellent ancillary accommodation for guests, multi-generational living or home working.

Outside Deerpark is approached via an unadopted road which leads to a shared private driveway with electrically operated gates; there is a double garage with two electronically operated doors, and driveway parking ahead of the house, and an EV charging point fitted.

The grounds form a particularly attractive setting for the house, surrounding the house to the south, west and north.

Adjoining the house is a south-facing courtyard garden, with an ornamental pond and well stocked beds, and a west facing patio, accessed via French doors from the sitting room.

Beyond, sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees and established planting provide both screening and a beautiful outlook throughout the changing seasons.

The park-like nature of the gardens enhances the property's sense of space, creating a fitting backdrop to this architecturally significant residence.

Within the grounds is a summer house, with power connected, which is currently used as an artist’s studio and a work from home space. In all, about 2.3 acres.
