Ideally located mid-way between London and the south coast, Crowborough is the largest and highest town in East Sussex. Positioned within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the town is on the edge of Ashdown Forest.

Although a bustling little town, Crowborough retains a village feel with a strong sense of community. There is a wide range of local amenities including independent boutiques, pubs and restaurants, as well as several supermarkets. There is also a regular farmers’ market once a month if you want to take advantage of some of the freshest local produce available.

Crowborough is perfect for families as it offers a wide range of schooling. These include Whitehill Nursery School and Sir Henry Fermor C of E and St Mary’s Catholic (both rated ‘good’ by Ofsted) – which are the two nearest primary schools to Windlewood. The neighbouring village of High Hurstwood (approx 5 miles) also has an ‘outstanding’ primary school in High Hurstwood C of E Primary. Meanwhile, secondary and Sixth Form education is provided locally by the Beacon Academy, while there are several ‘outstanding’ options in Tunbridge Wells and further independent options within a reasonable drive.

Royal Tunbridge Wells is conveniently just over six miles away for a wider selection of shopping opportunities.

For an active lifestyle there are excellent sporting facilities nearby, including golf at both Crowborough Beacon and Boars Head Courses as well as Isenhurst Health Club and
Crowborough Leisure Centre as well as Crowborough Tennis & Squash Club.

Travel further afield is straightforward as Crowborough is situated on the A26 almost halfway between London and the south coast. There are regular bus services to Royal Tunbridge Wells to the north and Lewes to the south plus many other towns and villages beyond.

You can be on the coast in Brighton in just over 45 minutes or go in the opposite direction to Tunbridge Wells in less than a quarter of an hour. It is just over half an hour by car to the M25 motorway while the journey to Gatwick Airport will only take around 45 minutes.
