BY RIVERDALE DEVELOPMENTS

Step into The Nightingales Phase 3, a renowned development featuring two, three, and four-bedroom homes, expertly crafted in the heart of the verdant East Sussex countryside. This prestigious and remarkable project, now in its third and final phase is brought to you by the award-winning developer Riverdale Developments.

Located within the bustling market town of Crowborough, this stunning development benefits from a wide range of nearby local amenities, along with excellent connections to London and the rest of the UK. However, despite its city connections, the town enjoys a peaceful setting in one of the country’s prettiest areas.

Each high-quality home at The Nightingales has been carefully designed to provide the utmost space, style and comfort. The exteriors are constructed from specially selected materials that complement the local environment, whilst the interiors enjoy a high-specification finish that perfectly caters for modern life.

Crowborough’s extraordinary history, character and charm has not just inspired literary legends,
but also sparked the imaginations of millions of young minds around the world.

Nestled among lush green leaves upon the roof of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the market town of Crowborough. Its picturesque streets are lined with Tudor beams and Edwardian bay windows, interspersed with an abundance of green open spaces.

Sitting 240 metres above sea level, the landscape either side of the town falls away dramatically to reveal spectacular views of the East Sussex rolling hills. With such remarkable scenery and irresistible charm, it is easy to see why this peaceful town has inspired two of the greatest ever storytellers.

The great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author and creator of the word famous Sherlock Holmes, called Crowborough his home for 23 years of his life, whilst nearby Ashdown Forest was A. A. Milne’s setting for the adventures of possibly the most famous bear in the world: Winnie the Pooh.

Despite such remarkable history, Crowborough is by no means stuck in the past. The town’s period look belies its modern heart, while excellent links to London and the rest of the country keep it very well connected. Crowborough has been the perfect setting for some of the world’s most famous stories, now it’s time for you to live yours at The Nightingales.

From a bustling High Street to a world-famous forest, across iconic sprawling hills as far as the great chalk cliffs of the Southern Coast.

Crowborough town centre is a hive of activity. Its high street caters for your everyday needs with a perfect mix of local independent boutiques, high street chains, major banks and essentials such as supermarkets, pharmacies and greengrocers. This flurry of activity peaks once a month during the farmers’ market, where you can handpick some of the freshest produce in the whole of East Sussex.

A strong characteristic of Crowborough is its many parks, open spaces and nature reserves. Enjoy woodland walks, picnics and ponds in the Country Parks or take advantage of the sports facilities, boating lake and miniature railway at Goldsmiths Recreation Ground. With many more open spaces to choose from in the town, you won’t have any problem escaping the rush.

Active lifestyles are well catered for with the local football, rugby and tennis clubs, fully equipped leisure centre and top-quality golf courses all within easy reach. The countryside that surrounds Crowborough includes the world-famous home of Winnie the Pooh and Ashdown Forest, along with countless criss-crossed footpaths that offer some of the UK’s most spectacular views. Families are well looked after with the number of high-performing schools close to home. Children can begin their learning at Whitehill Nursery School, before moving on to any of the Good rated local primary schools, which include Jarvis Brook, Ashdown, Grove Park and St Mary’s Catholic, with secondary and sixth form learning available at Beacon Academy (also rated Good). Hurstwood C of E Primary School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, lies in the neighbouring village of High Hurstwood.

Moving further afield, Crowborough’s excellent road and rail connections mean that London’s legendary buzz is a short journey north, whilst the Sussex coast is an easy drive south. Whether you’re after a day out in the capital or the warm sea breeze, in Crowborough you are perfectly placed to enjoy it all.

Ofsted results are correct as of September 2023.

From country pubs to country clubs, the choice of dining within easy reach of The Nightingales truly caters for every taste.

Crowborough’s thriving town centre is home to a variety of traditional pubs and restaurants that offer a friendly welcome and a hearty meal. Soak up the history of the 200-yearold Crow & Gate, enjoy lunch and a glass of wine at the beautiful White Hart on the Green, or experience an authentic local with real ale, live music, pub grub and pool at the Bricklayers Arms.

If you’re looking for something a little more refined, the surrounding countryside offers some great choices for finer dining. A short drive will take you to The Dining Room at Buxted Park Hotel. This 2 AA Rosette restaurant serves a menu filled with modern British cuisine that has been prepared with the finest local ingredients.

The achingly beautiful and equally grand Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club is located a short drive into the Ashdown Forest and offers awardwinning gourmet cuisine at its restaurant, making it the ideal retreat for lunches and evening meals. Alternatively, with the opulent rooms, luxurious spa and spectacular 18-hole golf course it also makes the ideal retreat for an entire weekend of pleasure.

With the above choice and so much more, there’s plenty to keep the adults entertained, however, sometimes we all need to indulge the (big) kids in our lives. At times like these, head over to Pooh Corner. This charming café is located in the heart of Winnie the Pooh country, just down the road from the world-famous Pooh Sticks Bridge – what better place to lose yourself for the day?
