Crittles Court

Wadhurst | East Sussex

An imaginative space high on the picturesque Weald

The cottages and apartments of Crittles Court are built in warm brick with the tile-hung facades traditional to this area, gathered around a beautifully-landscaped, split-level courtyard with lawns, trees and herbaceous borders. Entrance to the estate can be gained by way of a short secluded walk through a tiny lychgate just off the Wadhurst high street. It is no wonder then that HRH Prince Charles noted in his book ‘A Vision of Britain’ that it is the “imaginative touches” that set Crittles Court apart.

Wadhurst, perched on a high ridge of the picturesque Weald, has a remarkable number of good shops for its size. There are excellent pubs and restaurants, a library, doctors’ surgery, dentist,  and a veterinary surgeon. Wadhurst station is just to the north of the village. Places of beauty and interest abound in the local area, such as Bewl Reservoir, Batts Wood, Wadhurst Park Lake and the National Trust’s Scotney Castle. Royal Tunbridge Wells sits only seven miles away from the estate and offers many pleasurable pursuits, including the pretty colonnaded walkway known as The Pantiles, the 18th-Century Chalybeate Spring, Bayham Old Abbey, the Spa Valley Railway and the 14th-Century palace and stunning garden estate of Penshurst Place.
