Croft Ham is a breath-taking seven bedroom Edwardian house with a separate annex on the second floor. It sits among 13 acres of well-maintained gardens, grounds and paddocks. The house boasts rooms with high ceilings, period features and expansive views across the grounds and countryside. In addition to this substantial property, there are stables, garages and three separate cottages in the grounds, two of which have been modernised in recent years.

Built in 1908, Croft Ham is surrounded by wonderful grounds that are home to an apple orchard, a walled garden and several paddocks. The house is approached by a long, gated driveway, leading to the parking area which features a water fountain. These gardens are bordered by raised flower beds and a fantastically preserved lawn; part of which has been raised in order to create a croquet lawn.

It is located in the rural setting close to the village of Barcombe, near Lewes. The village benefits from many amenities including two public houses and a post office/shop. The village is home to Barcombe Primary School, along with many other highly regarded schools nearby, both private and state. It is in close proximity to mainline rail services with fast connections to Brighton, London Bridge and London Victoria.
