A welcome
Welcome to the farmhouse, and welcome to Goddenwick. We're so glad you're here.
Goddenwick House is a Tudor farmhouse sitting proudly on 150 acres of farmland in the heart of Sussex. Surrounded by lush rolling hills, dense ancient woodland and uninterrupted views of the Bluebell Railway across the valley, it is a spot that perfectly captures the charm and beauty of England's green and pleasant land: the very county William Blake had in mind when he wrote the words to Jerusalem.
Reputedly visited by Henry VIII on one of his many hunting trips to Ashdown Forest, this farmhouse has perched in its prominent ridge-top position on the High Weald for nearly 600 years. It carries that history lightly. Come and feel it for yourself.
Sleeping up to 22, the farmhouse is the perfect retreat for special occasions, large family gatherings, wellness retreats, creative escapes, and good old-fashioned holidays in the beautiful English countryside.
Goddenwick Farmhouse, beautiful in all four seasons.
The house
From the 19ft oak captain's table to the conservatory bar, every room carries the patina of six centuries.
The great dining room: oak beams, antler chandelier, and room for the whole household.
Sleeping arrangements
From the Tudor Suite to the Duck House, every room has its own character.

The grounds
Gardens, woodland, a duck pond, a fire pit, and a tennis court with views across the valley.
The house sits nestled in the middle of 150 acres of countryside, the nearest neighbour a full kilometre away. You have the run of the place.
Magnificent cherry trees and wisteria, spectacular in spring.
The 1.5 acres of private gardens are for the sole use of residents and wrap around the property on all sides. To the south, they border a beautiful pond inhabited by ducks, geese and moorhens. To the north, the gardens meet deciduous woodland. To the east, the lawns open up to the tennis courts with sweeping views across the valley to the famous Bluebell steam railway.
The gardens have ample lawn space, a patio terrace with seating, a rustic outdoor kitchen area, and a fire pit for cold winter evenings.
