The building comprises three separate areas: the original residential home which is believed to have been built in 1812, a two-bedroom cottage added in the 1970s and a two-storey office extension added in 2000. Parts of the buildings are Grade II Listed.
The three areas of the building are linked by a Welcome area via the main entrance, and there is a staff kitchen and male and female toilets. There is also a private garden with mature trees, a wildflower lawn and outdoor seating area, including a raised patio area. The original building boasts an impressive Inglenook fireplace, wooden beams and many other original features.
For many years the building was home to the Woods Mill wardens and their families before being converted to office use.
Acquiring this unique and historic building would appeal to those with an interest in conservation and appreciation for nature. The adjacent Woods Mill Nature Reserve, which does not form part of the sale, is home to a wide variety of wildlife including rare Turtle Doves, Nightingales and many other birds, dragonflies, butterflies, amphibians, mammals and invertebrates. The flora on the nature reserve is also wonderful, with Wood Anemones and Bluebells in the woodland in the spring and several species of orchid in the summer.
The site has a public car park and allocation of spaces can be negotiated. The mill building, education centre, toilets and additional lower car park are not included and are to be retained in the ownership of Sussex Wildlife Trust.
