Location

The property occupies a commanding position in Hillcrest in Dormans Park. The origins of Dormans Park date back to the 1800s. It originally comprised of over 200 acres of farmland and woodland. Following the arrival of the railway, with London just 28 miles away, it became a peaceful environment in which to live. Today, it offers an interesting variety of houses, both old and new, in tranquil surroundings. Dormansland village is just over 1 mile away with Church, post office and village shop, whilst Lingfield is 2.5 miles, offering local shopping facilities, and the renowned Racecourse. For more comprehensive shops, including Waitrose, the old market town of East Grinstead is about 2.5 miles away. There is an excellent choice of independent schools in the area, including Lingfield College, Brambletye, Ardingly College, Worth and Cumnor House. For commuters, Dormans Station can be accessed via a footpath. For the international traveller, Gatwick airport is about 9 miles distant.
