Turnpike Court

Ardingly | West Sussex

Victorian grandeur amidst spectacular countryside

Turnpike Court is set in the grounds of Hapstead House, a grand Victorian mansion. Many of the properties are apartments in a single building, made from a mix of Midhurst sandstone and Michelmerch bricks, and all with a lift and video entry system. Surrounded by well-maintained gardens and lawns, each of the cottages has either a terrace or a balcony.

A few moments’ walk from the estate is the attractive high street of Ardingly, host to a bakery, a post office and a pub. Nearby is the South of England Agricultural Society Showground, which hosts many country events throughout the year, and the Ardingly Reservoir offers the opportunity to sail and fish. Also nearby are the Royal Botanic Gardens at Wakehurst Place, offering such spectacular walks among beautifully-kept flora that it is widely known as ‘Kew in the country’.
