The Listed buildings of Broadbridge Heath


By Ian Mulcahy

Old Britain Home | Historic curiosities of Horsham

 

Broadbridge Heath, a mile or two west of Horsham, isn't blessed with an abundance of listed buildings - there are just 11. Here are 8 of them, photographed during a short stroll on the afternoon of 25 November 2017.

 

 

Parking the car in Wickhurst Lane near St Johns Crescent and armed with a plan, we walked north where opposite Church Lane we came across Ye Old Place, a 16th century timber framed house.



Almost opposite, on the corner of Church Lane, is a single storey 16th century cottage with an attic named Cherry Tree.


Further north on Wickhurst Lane is 1 Old Post Cottages, a grand looking 18th century house.


Attached to number 1 and forming  are the slightly younger 2,3 & 4 Old Post Cottages, dating to the early 19th century. These are best viewed by walking down Church Lane and turning right into Stirling Place.


Further along Church Lane, on the south side of the road, are Retreat Cottages, a terrace of three early 19th century houses.



 


Almost next door is the intriguingly named Broadbridge Peace Cottage, previously a wing of Broadbridge Heath Place (see next) dating back to the 17th century, but now a house in its own right.


Behind the Peace Cottage, and best viewed from Church Road or The Orchard, is Broadbridge Heath Place, a large late 18th century, possibly early 19th century house.


The final listed building on our walk is Corsletts farmhouse, another archetypal 16th century timber framed building that can be found on the western side of Church Road, south of the junction with the eponymously named Corsletts Avenue. The tile hung wing to the southern end of the building was added in the 19th century.
