High Cross Estate, Wealden added to Everything Else in South East by Kirky on 13/04/2025

High cross estate aka Hamilton palace half built derelict mansion some history below.

On the site of the former High Cross House, a former nursing home destroyed by a fire of unknown cause, van Hoogstraten began constructing a private mansion he called Hamilton Palace, at Palehouse Common near Uckfield in East Sussex in the mid-1980s. According to Emma Brockes of The Guardian in 2000, Hamilton Palace was named after the capital of Bermuda, where van Hoogstraten owns property.
Construction of the mansion began in 1985 and had cost around £40 million by 2006. The neoclassical palace features a copper dome. The enormous edifice is intended to house his private collection of art, currently stored in Switzerland, and includes a marble mausoleum he intends for himself. Under English law, perpetual trusts are only allowed in the upkeep of monuments and graves. By using the palace as a mausoleum, van Hoogstraten's trust would legally own the buildings and their fittings in perpetuity after his death. A large portion of his wealth has been transferred into a Bermudan trust for the upkeep of historic monuments. The structure of the mansion and ancillary buildings was largely in place, but van Hoogstraten fell out with architect Anthony Browne in 2000[21] and the site remained unfinished. Recent drone footage shows an abandoned building surrounded by scaffolding on which foliage is growing.

See this place a while back on the news so whilst in the area I thought I’d take a look, found a big grass verge next to a large gate & field off the road nearby,
Worth a look there’s also a few Ariel videos on YouTube.
