Bluebell Gardens is a place where families can put down roots and grow together. Wivelsfield Primary School is highly regarded and just a short walk away, while toddler groups meet regularly at the Village Hall, helping young families connect.
Weekends can be spent exploring local attractions such as Latchetts Farm, with its ice cream parlour, play areas and crazy golf, or enjoying a nostalgic day out on the famous Bluebell Railway at Sheffield Park.
For outdoor adventures, Barcombe Mills offers wild swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking in the warmer months, while Mid Sussex Golf Club and Up Country Garden Centre are both close by for relaxed days out.
