The property sits within the parish of Berwick, a village known across Britain for its remarkable parish church of St Michael & All Angels. During the Second World War, local landowners invited members of the Bloomsbury Group—notably Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Quentin Bell—to decorate the church. Today the church is a site of national cultural importance, visited by art lovers from around the world, and it brings a distinct creative heritage to the immediate neighbourhood of Ludlay.The surrounding landscape reinforces this cultural resonance. The house and barns are set against the rolling backdrop of the South Downs National Park, with its open chalk ridges, hidden valleys and famed walking trails. This is countryside immortalised in Bloomsbury canvases and modern British literature—an environment where heritage, art and landscape intermingle.
Despite its idyllic rural setting, Ludlay is remarkably well connected. Berwick station lies moments from the drive, providing direct services along the East Coastway line to Lewes, Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings, with onward connections to London Victoria. The A27 trunk road also lies close at hand, linking to the wider South Coast and the national road network.
