Commercial Mortgages & Property Finance in Crowborough

Crowborough is one of the highest towns in East Sussex, perched on the edge of Ashdown Forest (the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood). Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived here, and today the town serves as a prosperous commuter and retirement base with a strong local retail centre and premium property values reflecting its forest-edge setting.
