Saint Hill Manor, Grade II listed mansion in Saint Hill Green, East Grinstead, England
Description
Saint Hill Manor is a Georgian manor house in Saint Hill Green, East Grinstead, built from local Sussex sandstone with a symmetrical façade and classical proportions. The two-storey building features a central entrance hall with adjoining reception rooms and wide service wings across the surrounding grounds.
History
Gibbs Crawfurd commissioned the house in 1792 on the site of an earlier Jacobean residence, incorporating parts of the older structure into the new design. The Maharajah of Jaipur acquired it in the 1950s and added elements that remain visible inside today.
Culture
The estate takes its name from Saint Hill itself, a gentle rise overlooking the Weald countryside. The 18th-century gardens follow the English landscape style with open lawns and mature tree groupings.
Practical
The house lies southwest of East Grinstead and can be reached via country roads through the Sussex countryside. Paths across the grounds vary in surface, with some areas better suited to dry weather.
