WOOLMERS Woolmers is one of the oldest properties in Mannings Heath. There is a part of the current house built of stone, which our client informs us is 15th century, the main part was built in 1590, an oak timber framed Wealden farmhouse. Woolmers was a working farm from 1590 to 1925, owned by one family, surname Henley. In 1925 some of the land was sold to build the houses from Homefield to the Police House. Then Woolmers Farmhouse, the coach house, and the land surrounding them were upgraded to make a country house with gardens and orchards. The owner, Sir Graham Cunningham was a MP, involved with the war damage commission, and Woolmers was always an integral part of Mannings Heath.

Our clients The present owners purchased the whole site in 1993, and carried out extensive works to all the buildings. Early 1994 they planted 1500 trees, filling the field between the house and the A281, and a 30m strip along the A281, up to Highlands on the southern border. The trees have grown well over the last 20 years, and 50% of the trees planted were oaks, and this already has an abundance of wildlife. In 1995 they put in two lakes, there was already a pond outside the house, which was upgraded, as a koi carp pond, with an automated cleaning system, which feeds the water feature. This is not being used at present, but could easily be reinstated. A working artesian well is pumped into the pond to maintain the level. The tennis court was built in 1995, then overlaid with artificial grass 10 years later, it has retractable halogen floodlights, with permission up to 22.00 hours. The swimming pool, with changing room and snooker room, were built in 2007. The pool is a constant depth pool designed for exercise, with a Heatstar climate control system. The pool building and the pool are highly insulated, the Heatstar automatically controls the water and air temperatures, also the humidity and reclaims the heat, so together with an insulating electric pool cover, the pool is economic, with minimal maintenance. The water is kept clean by cartridge filters and UV light, with minimal chemicals needed.
