Borde Hill is a nationally-important English country garden with magnificent views over the 383-acre Grade II heritage listed parkland in Haywards Heath.
Borde Hill has been home to the Stephenson Clarke family since the 1800s. Colonel R Stephenson Clarke, who had served in the Royal Sussex Regiment with significant honours and fought in many campaigns, made his fortune in shipping.
The Elizabethan mansion became a showcase for his passion, not just of art works and antiques and militaria, but also of exotic plants from all four corners of the world and now boasts an award-winning horticultural collection.
In its capacity now as a charity, Borde Hill opens up its gardens each year between Spring and late Autumn – continuing the passion and legacy of the Sussex Stephenson Clarke family.
The things for sale range from fine furniture, to several antique clocks and a stunning Mughal carpet. They will be up for sale in the Dreweatts auction on Wednesday (March 29).
