Sir A. Conan Doyle's Home For Sale
Windlesham, Crowborough, the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from 1907 until his death in 1930, is being offered for sale. The house was originally a cottage, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle enlarged it into a property of 14 bedrooms and five reception rooms. It stands in an acre of ground.
In what he called "the highlands of Sussex," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote some of his later Sherlock Holmes stories, and also The Lost World. During the war the house was requisitioned and occupied by the Canadian Army, and since then it has been used as a Government hostel. Messrs. Charles J. Parris, of Crowborough, have been appointed agents for the sale of the property.
