Bluecoat Pond

Christ's Hospital | West Sussex

An attractive old dairy in a surprising cultural hotspot

Bluecoat Pond, situated on the former Christ’s Hospital School dairy site, takes its name from the long blue coats still worn by the students. The Victorian pond and water tower are the centrepiece of the estate’s spectacular courtyard, with the pretty brick properties surrounded by finely-landscaped gardens and grounds.

Although it doesn’t officially hold village status, Christ’s Hospital has postal facilities, a chapel, a shop and a large railway station, all within easy walking distance of the estate. Christ’s Hospital School also offers a hugely varied programme of high-quality music and drama performances, held in their purpose-built theatre designed by the same architect responsible for London’s Young Vic. The town of Horsham is only a short drive away and still retains its old-world charm with a traffic-free centre, as well as an excellent range of shops, pubs and restaurants and an arts centre with a theatre and cinema. The local area offers many opportunities to enjoy the countryside and wildlife, with Warnham Nature Reserve, Horsham Park, Huxley’s Birds of Prey Centre and Sumners Ponds all no further than seven miles from the estate.
