Gildridge is a magnificent detached period home resting in Whitesmith, East Sussex, providing parking for four cars, expansive grounds and a hot tub for unforgettable gatherings.
Step through the door and feel the sense of occasion as you move into the generous kitchen/diner, where group meals come to life around the table with space for up to 20 guests.
The range-style oven and ample worktops invite leisurely cooking, while conversations flow between the kitchen and the spacious sitting room, a welcoming hub for after-dinner chats or film nights.
With six thoughtfully arranged bedrooms, including family rooms with king-size beds and sofa beds, there is room for extended family, several couples or a celebratory group of friends to unwind under the traditional features of this impressive period property.
Mornings begin with unhurried coffees in the garden as children discover the play area and lawns, while others rally friends for a lively game of tennis or table tennis.
As the day draws on, the hot tub becomes the place to gather, sharing stories and planning tomorrow’s adventures beneath the open sky, before lighting the barbecue and lingering on the patio long into the evening.
Beyond the grounds, Whitesmith sits within easy reach of days out that appeal to all ages.
The nearby market town of Crowborough, along with Lewes, Eastbourne and Royal Tunbridge Wells, are all highlighted as being worth a leisurely day away from the house.
Whether you spend your time strolling the grounds, calling in at the nearby pub or simply enjoying good food and company back at the house, this corner of East Sussex offers plenty to discover together.
For a memorable group escape in Sussex, Gildridge provides a wonderful setting to come together.
