Harwoods Pond - History & Environment

Harwoods PondHarwoods Pond

West lodge pond and gardens were originally constructed in the late Victorian era as part of the landscaping of the West Lodge of Lord Glendynes Estate. Over this time it has matured into a significant and beautiful ecosystem.

It is home to a myriad of wildlife and mature and rare plants. During the construction process, extreme care is being taken to ensure that no harm is caused to this precious and rare habitat and its wildlife.

To this end various plants and fish have been removed and are being cared for and will be returned upon completion. The whole area will then be carefully reinstated to its original condition. This is a truly unique house, garden and pond. It will surely bring great joy to its new owners.

General Description

These two absolutely unique four bed detached houses are being constructed to the highest standards in the traditional method using local red brick & tile and timber in the Sussex barn style.

Only the highest quality materials and workmanship are being used. The interiors have been carefully designed by our architect to give a spacious contemporary feel with light finishes, clean lines and superb space planning.

They are located in the ancient Sussex town of East Grinstead in a private lane in the grounds of the West Lodge of Lord Glendynes Old Estate. Although situated in a delightfully private, wooded, rural position, they are but 5 minutes walk to the town centre, railway station & many superb schools & sports facilities.

They are set on the edge of an original Victorian ornamental pond. This unique micro environment supports a wealth of wildlife, fish and plants
