| The Old Posthouse has evolved into its present day form over the last 160 years or so. The west wing of the house, which now contains the guest bedrooms and bathrooms, is believed to have been built in 1840. The east wing, now the dining room, was added around 1860. For many years this addition was the local village store and Post Office. Numerous other additions have been made to the rear of the property over the years, including the present day kitchen and storerooms. The Post Office finally closed in the 1970s and for some time the future of the building was in question. However, since then it has seen a variety of uses including an antique shop, tea-rooms and hi-fi dealer. It was converted into a Guest House in the late 1980s. |
| We acquired the Old Posthouse in 1999 and have substantially improved the standard of accommodation by the addition of en-suite facilities in all rooms and extensive redecoration. The building is centrally heated and double glazed throughout. Smoking is not permitted, except in the garden. We try to maximize the use of home grown and local produce at breakfast time. You are assured of a friendly welcome. |

| The property enjoys a prime location in the hamlet of Plummers Plain at the edge of the village of Lower Beeding. We are on the B2110 (formerly A279) almost opposite Holy Trinity Church, Lower Beeding. We are about an hour from Heathrow airport, 15 minutes from Gatwick airport, 25 minutes from Brighton, 3 miles from the village of Handcross on the A23 and 4 miles from the centre of Horsham with its good rail links into London. Approaching from London or the airports, we recommend you head south on the M23 towards Brighton. Just after the the last junction (J11) the road continues as the A23. Take the first available exit signed for Handcross, Nymans and Leonardslee Gardens. Proceed into Handcross, along the High Street until you reach the Red Lion public house. Turn right and follow signs to Leonardslee Gardens. After about 2 miles you will pass The Wheatsheaf public house and after a further mile you will enter Lower Beeding. Look for a phone box on the left and we are immediatley beyond it. If you reach The Plough public house, you have missed us by about 150 yards. Both the Wheatsheaf and the Plough offer a range of good beers and good food at lunchtimes and in the evenings.  Approaching from Brighton and the South, we recommend you head north on the A23 towards London and Gatwick airport. About 15 miles north of Brighton take the A272 towards Cowfold. In Cowfold turn right onto the A281 towards Horsham. After 2.5 miles take a right hand turn at Leonardslee gardens and continue for a further half mile or so to The Plough public house. Proceed round the sharp right hand bend and we are about 150 yards further on the right, just before a phone box. From Horsham, take the A281 to Brighton. Travel for about 4 miles, passing through the villages of Mannings Heath and Monks Gate. At the Cisswood House Hotel turn left into Sandygate Lane (B2115 to Gatwick). After ¼ mile turn left at The Plough public house. We are about 150 yards further on the right, just before a phone box. If you are coming from some other direction, then please consult a map or phone for directions. |
