On the High Street and dating from Georgian times. When built the village of Buxted was still grouped around St Margarets Church in what is now Buxted Park. However, the residents were forced out in the early 19th century when the then owner Lord Liverpool decided he wanted to extend the park and have a little more isolation. Consequently, the village moved to its current spot on the A272 and was anchored firmly by the arrival of the railway in the 1850s. To the right of the gate the original mounting block for the owners to get on their horses is still in situ.
