Features and description
Garnham H Bewley are delighted to offer for sale this sensational seven bedroom Wing of a country house enjoying approximately 6000 sq.ft or living accommodation, formally once one of East Sussex’s finest country houses, 1350 Grade II*-listed Dutton Homestall at Ashurst Wood, near East Grinstead, which has been better known in the past as Stoke Brunswick prep school, founded in 1958.
This intriguing part-medieval, part-Tudor house is set in 28 acres of magnificent grounds, which includes the luxury of communal gardens, woodlands, playing fields, two tennis courts, a six-hole golf course and an outdoor heated swimming pool.
The oldest part of the property, The Homestall, was originally a simple farmhouse, built in about 1350 and used as a hunting lodge by John of Gaunt. In 1907, whisky distiller Lord Tommy Dewar bought and restored The Homestall and remodelled the gardens. When Dewar died in 1930, the estate passed to his nephew, John Arthur Dewar, who used it as his weekend country retreat, while living at Claridge’s during the week. But his new wife, Kathleen, declared that the house was simply not big enough for the kind of lavish entertaining she had in mind, so Dewar bought Dutton Hall, a Tudor mansion in Cheshire, and had it dismantled and rebuilt, brick by brick and timber by timber, beside The Homestall.
Homestall enjoys spacious accommodation with stunning architectural features throughout whilst enjoying four large reception rooms, seven bedrooms, luxury bathrooms and large private grounds designed by James Pulham and Sons which beautifully assign this beautiful Wing.
