Old Mill Cottage RH17 is based in Ansty, near Haywards Heath, RH17 and falls within Mid Sussex District Council. This unique 16th-century black and white cottage combines historic character with contemporary living, offering a secluded and highly versatile filming location set within four private acres of land. Nestled within a natural bowl-shaped setting and surrounded by mature landscaping, the property benefits from exceptional privacy with no immediate neighbours.
The property boasts approximately 3,000 sq ft of internal space and blends period architecture with modern design elements. Inside, there are two sitting rooms, a large kitchen and dining space, games room, utility room, shower room, and four bedrooms, including three with en-suite bathrooms. One of the home’s most distinctive features is its dual staircase layout, with one staircase leading to the main landing and another opening directly into one of the bedrooms.
Outside, the extensive wraparound gardens provide a wide variety of shooting environments. A standout feature is the dramatic waterfall, which has been transformed into a natural cold-dip pool, creating a striking visual backdrop unlike most residential locations. The grounds also include a self-contained modern annex, outdoor bar, outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, private gym, garage, and a static caravan. The annex can additionally be used as wardrobe, hair and makeup, catering, or production space, making the property particularly practical for larger shoots.
Parking is available on site with ample space for multiple vehicles and production crews. The property also benefits from EV charging facilities. The nearest public transport link is Haywards Heath Station, approximately a 5-minute drive away.
The property runs on a domestic power supply. The property does not have disabled access. Sound levels in the surrounding area are exceptionally quiet due to the property’s secluded position within a natural bowl setting, with no immediate neighbouring properties.
