STEEPED IN THE HISTORY
OF A GLORIOUS PAST
Isfield can claim a rich and vibrant heritage, with much of the growth of this pretty settlement attributed to Isfield Place, a stately home on
the edge of the village. It is thought that King Harold spent the night before the Battle of Hastings at Isfield Place and it was subsequently
owned by the De La Warr family until 1507 when it was sold to John Shurley, Cofferer to King Henry VII and King Henry VIII. Isfield
Place was down-sized during the early 18th century but still maintained its grandeur as a comfortable residence for the gentry.
The village population increased dramatically though in 1858 with the arrival of the railway and opening of Isfield
station. The original Victorian station and signal box remains in Isfield and in recent times has been restored as a
preserved heritage railway called the Lavender Line, which travels for a two-mile round trip between Isfield and Worth Halt.
Central to Isfield is the popular Laughing Fish Public House renowned for its colourful history, as it was first reputed to be
a chapel when built in the 1860s and then later catered to 3000 Canadian troops stationed nearby at Sutton Hall during WW2.
With such an interesting past, Lavender Fields represents the perfect
opportunity to become part of the next chapter of the history of this charming village.
YOUR PERFECT RURAL RETREAT
Quaint, picturesque and leafy, the village of Isfield is a genuine rural idyll with a thriving
local community, offering plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in village life.
Isfield is a quintessential traditional English village which lies within the Weald, an
area of outstanding natural beauty, putting a host of countryside pursuits on the doorstep.
There are fantastic walking, cycling and riding opportunities throughout the South Downs National Park, with a
lattice of intertwining trails leading all the way to the coast with a diverse array of flora and fauna to appreciate.
Yet despite this rural position, all the day-to-day essentials are still on hand, as the Holly Gap Farm shop,
less than a half mile walk from Lavender Fields, sells a wide-range of groceries, fresh fish and locally butchered meat.
If you’re out for the evening, why not try a pint of Harveys, the local brew, in one of the many friendly and characterful pubs in the area?
Either the Laughing Fish pub at the centre of the village or the Halfway House located nearby on the A26, is ideal for a quiet drink or a lazy Sunday lunch.
A WEALTH OF FACILITIES CLOSE AT HAND
Isfield is located just off the A26, connecting the two towns of Uckfield and Lewes,
approximately 4 and 6 miles away putting a wealth of facilities within easy reach.
Uckfield caters for the everyday shopping needs with both Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets,
while Lewes has a large Sainsbury’s. The Cliffe area of Lewes has been paved to provide a
quaint pedestrian precinct with a variety of high street shops, while antique shops abound.
In addition, there is a popular Farmers market on the first Saturday of every month where you can buy and
sample delicious local delicacies. Lewes has an array of excellent restaurants, bistros and brasseries serving mouth-watering
delights, including Limetree Kitchen and the original Bill’s restaurant, serving delicious brunches and gastro fare.
Meanwhile Brighton, approximately 15 miles away, offers a world of shopping choice from independent fashionable boutiques
of the North Lanes to the well-heeled stores of the South Lanes, as well as the large shopping mall at Churchill Square.
FIRST CLASS FOR FAMILIES
Parents have a great choice of schooling at Lavender Fields, with Horsted C of E Primary and St Marks C of E Primary in Uckfield both within easy reach.
Equally, Uckfield Community Technology College and the Priory School in Lewes are both highly rated by Ofsted for secondary education.
For private schooling, Chailey Prep School and Lewes Old Grammar School, which caters for children from 3 to 18 years old, both deliver consistently good results.
Similarly, there is plenty to see and do for families in and around Isfield. Open throughout the summer months, Pells Pool in Lewes is the oldest
documented freshwater public pool in the country, where you can swim in the open air or sunbathe on the grass of the nearby picnic area.
If you like to keep fit, Lewes also has its own leisure centre with a gym, large indoor pool and a soft play area to keep the little ones occupied.
HOME DESIGNS IMBUED WITH HISTORY
Much like a traditional village evolves over time, Lavender Fields has been designed with a
sense of passing history to give a characterful mix of hometypes which blend seamlessly within
this mature setting. This exciting development of 39 houses comprises a grand manor house,

Beautifully crafted to the needs of modern lifestyles, each of the homes at Lavender Fields will enjoy
a luxury specification with meticulous attention to detail, to appeal to the discerning purchaser.

Furthermore, Millwood’s exemplary specification goes beyond the norm to include impressive
finishing touches, such as ornate architraves and skirtings and ample storage spaces.
Millwood Designer Homes
Individually designed luxury new homes
Millwood Designer Homes builds a broad range of individually
designed homes from contemporary styled apartments to more
traditional two and three storey homes. Many new Millwood
Designer homes combine period charm with all the benefits of
the latest advances in construction and energy-efficient
technology. Traditional exteriors belie the more contemporary
interiors, whilst cottage style homes, as well as Georgian facades
are becoming more and more prevalent in Millwood’s portfolio.
Millwood Designer Homes is based in Tonbridge, Kent and its
exclusive developments can be found in country, town, village
and waterside locations throughout Surrey, Kent and Sussex.
By ensuring that all landscaping is sympathetic to the
environment and that natural features and existing planting are
retained whenever possible, the company enhances the rural
aspects of any regenerated brownfield land. Millwood also
strives to use reclaimed bricks and roof tiles at many of its
schemes to embellish the traditional design.
Millwood’s continued policy of combining all that is best in local
architectural history with the latest in modern technology and
innovation has won the company many prestigious awards.
