SAVILLS IS NOW SELLING REDE PLACE – FORMER HOME OF TOM CRUISE

Savills is selling the former home of Tom Cruise, Rede Place in East Grinstead, West Sussex with guide price at £4.95m. Tom is said to have owned the property during the mid 2000’s. 

Rede Place is a luxury country mansion of some 11,331 sq ft, with excellent facilities including a 1,436 sq ft, 2 bed Pavilion, set in grounds of about 14.2 acres on the fringe of this popular private residents' park, ideal for commuters (within walking distance of Dormans station) and those who enjoy entertaining. The bespoke design house was built in 2003, replacing a pre-existing Victorian residence. 

There is a comprehensive lighting system throughout allowing zoned and dimmer control with interesting features including coffered ceilings with up-lighting. Certain rooms are wired for an integrated sound system.
The lower ground floor provides a superb recreation complex including a cinema room, games/billiards room and dance studio with sprung floor. The integral garage on this floor has numerous power points offering potential for an office set up if required. The room has also provided an excellent teenage party venue.

The first floor comprises 4 bedroom suites including an impressive master bedroom complex. Each bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the gardens and grounds. The second floor is currently set up as a bedroom suite with sitting room / study which could quite easily be turned into 2.

In addition to the house there is a 1,436 sq ft detached self-contained annexe, referred to by Savills’ clients as “The Pavilion”, located to one side of the house, which is ideal for entertaining or for staff / guest accommodation. The immediate gardens offer a combination of formal lawns and plantings, wooded sunken garden with stream fed interconnecting ponds, entertaining terraces and recreational facilities including a heated swimming pool, tennis court and hot tub. There is also an orchard and a pretty Victorian summerhouse. Beyond the gardens are parkland grounds, which could easily be divided up into further paddocks if required, which would then be in addition to the paddock at the front of the property.

Will Peppitt, Savills Country House Department, said: “Dormans Park has long been a popular and exclusive residential community for buyers seeking a home in a secure and private location. It’s a peaceful and tranquil spot where residents can escape their otherwise busy and demanding lives. Rede Place is particularly special in that it combines a sense of seclusion with wonderful modern facilities.

We have already seen a good level of interest from buyers seeking a family home in the country. The good transport links mean that this area of West Sussex continues to be a popular place to live for those who work in the Capital or who do a lot of international travel as Gatwick airport is close by.”
