Welcome to Goddenwick.

A Tudor farmhouse that has stood on this ridge since 1425, surrounded by 150 acres of Sussex countryside.

Reputedly visited by Henry VIII on his hunting trips to Ashdown Forest, Goddenwick sits in a prominent ridge-top position on the High Weald with uninterrupted views of the Bluebell Railway across the valley. It carries six hundred years of history lightly.

The perfect retreat for large family gatherings, special occasions, wellness retreats, creative escapes, and good old-fashioned English holidays.

Garden detail
The pond

The house sits in the middle of 150 acres of Sussex countryside. 1.5 acres of private gardens wrap around the property on all sides — for the sole use of guests.

"Magnificent cherry trees and wisteria — spectacular in spring."

To the south, the gardens border a beautiful pond. To the north, deciduous woodland. To the east, sweeping views to the famous Bluebell steam railway.

01 — Spring
Bluebell Season

The ancient woodland that borders the gardens is truly extraordinary — a sea of blue beneath a canopy nearly as old as the house itself.

The long summer

Long golden evenings on the terrace, the outdoor kitchen in full swing, the pond shimmering, the tennis court humming until dusk.

June · July · August
03 — Autumn
Pumpkin Picking

Halloween at Goddenwick is something special — the ancient timbers and the 600-year-old shadows do most of the work.

All of October
04 — Winter
The Christmas house

The farm comes alive with festive warmth — the fire pit lit, the conservatory bar steaming, the great dining room set for twenty-two.
