Local building character
Victorian and medieval heritage
Ardingly College, built from 1864 with extensions through to the 1920s, dominates the village's modern development. The architect William Butterfield designed striking farm buildings in the 1870s-80s, including an octagonal buttery.
The medieval heart of the village centres on St Peter's Church, built around 1300. It has a large tower and a well-timbered south porch with an effigy of a priest and ancient brasses inside. The village sign marks the site of the old tollgate.
Ardingly is also known for Wakehurst Place, one of England's finest gardens and home to the Millennium Seed Bank. This reflects the village's character as a place where heritage and education combine. Just north of the village, the South of England Showground runs the South of England Show every June, drawing farmers and visitors from across the region to its 150-acre site.

Garden and patio redesign
Matt was able to discuss our patio and garden plans with us and and put them in to reality.
The end result is everything we had hoped for, we're really pleased with the result. We now have an eye-catching low maintenance garden.
We also had the house wall repointed.
Superb Brickwork, Highly Recommended
The brickwork on our new‑build barn‑annex, including the chimney stack and a one‑metre perimeter wall, was completed to a superb standard. The team kept the site consistently tidy, worked with real pride, and showed genuine passion for the craft. Everyone was polite, respectful, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended for reliable, quality brickwork.
Stunning new garden
Amazing experience with this friendly, considerate and highly skilled team. We had a new wall, fence, patio and artificial grass laid. The results are even better than we hope. Would highly recommend Bradford Brickwork.
Shorten garden wall and make good driveway
Matt and his team did a very good job of putting right a job previously carried out by a non qualified brick layer.
The job is now completed to a very high standard and everything was left clean and tidy. The team were polite and courteous at all times. We would highly recommend .
Repointing house wall
We needed one wall of our house repointed, but we also needed the ridge tiles replaced as well as the roof verges.
Matt was very knowledgeable and the brickie he supplied was really good and very helpful. Nathan went above and beyond.
They were really easy to get on with and did a superlative job.
I would thoroughly recommend and definitely use them again, if the need arises.
Definitely 20 stars !!
Brickwork to extension.
Matt attended to quote and review on brickwork before and after completion of work. Advised on house generally. Respected garden and placed lawn boards. Particularly impressed with matching the coloured mortar, unlike previous contractor.
Brick soldier course for lintel above window
Looked at pics and assessed the job, came to quote. Saw that it was urgent, as my replacement window couldn’t be fitted as the lintel was close to collapse. Matt booked in the job for the next day and 2 of his guys did the work. All very professional.
