OLD LODGE ESTATE, ROYAL HUNTING LODGE, EAST SUSSEX

This magnificent old house, once a royal hunting lodge, is set on the edge of the rolling East Sussex Downs. We restored some elements of the extensive grounds and sympathetically redesigned others to create an appropriately grand backdrop.

The new arrival avenue of ornamental flowering cherries frames views of the surrounding landscape and the house itself, whilst the old walled garden has been replanted with new tree and border planting. Formal and informal gardens provide a classically elegant setting and create a variety of interest for the estate's new owners.
