Brangwyn’s Acre, Ditchling, West Sussex Five unique homes set in the heart of the historic village of Ditchling. It is the individual design of the five homes and the highly sought after location, which makes Brangwyn's Acre a rare find indeed. Griffin House, Wyvern Way, Phoenix Place, Farthings and Hundred's Barn are all built to the highest specification yet maintain the traditional Sussex Style by incorporating the use of local materials and craftsmen. The Archetypal Sussex Village Nestling in a fold of the South Downs and pre-dating the days of the Domesday Book, Ditchling is steeped in history. Above the village at a height of 813 feet on the Downs is Ditchling Beacon where fires were lit four centuries ago to warn of the Spanish Armada. Brangwyn's Acre, set deep amidst the glorious Sussex countryside, yet well within the heart of Ditchling Village with its pond, traditional green and 11th century church, offers a truly unique opportunity for a serene and tranquil lifestyle. This select and quality development backs onto open farmland and is named in memory of Sir Frank Brangwyn who was part of the strong Arts and Crafts community based in the village in the early 20th century. Contemporaries of Brangwyn within the village included stone carver Eric Gill, artist and writer Amy Sawyer, weaver Ethel Mairet and Edward Johnston, scribe and calligrapher. The local village shops provide a traditional service to the community whilst about two miles away is the larger village of Hassocks where there are main line rail links to London (Victoria 1 hour) and Brighton (15 minutes). The A23 London to Brighton road is easily reached and provides fast vehicular access to Gatwick Airport. Just to the other side of the Downs lies the bustling and cosmopolitan city of Brighton and Hove with its excellent entertainment facilities including theatres, restaurants, clubs and cinemas. For countryside lovers there are endless walks in the surrounding rural environment, riding on the Downs and golf at a number of local clubs. Brangwyns Acre provides the rare opportunity of acquiring new and individual homes of quality on the edge of a Conservation Area and within a part of Sussex designated and proposed to form part of the South Downs National Park. Development designed by James Breckell Architects.
