Southdowns Park – Heritage, Lifestyle & Community - Southdowns Park is one of the most sought-after residential developments in Mid Sussex. Originally constructed in 1859 as the Sussex County Lunatic Asylum and later known as St Francis Hospital, the magnificent Victorian Gothic buildings were transformed in the late 1990s into an award-winning collection of apartments, houses and mews-style residences. Today, Southdowns Park offers a truly unique lifestyle, combining beautiful historic architecture with the convenience of modern living. Residents enjoy access to acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds featuring sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees, ornamental planting and peaceful seating areas, all creating a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity.

The development benefits from a strong community atmosphere and offers residents exclusive use of an on-site gymnasium, communal barbecue area, CCTV security, visitor parking and immaculately maintained grounds. Few developments in the area offer such a distinctive blend of history, character and lifestyle.
