Wykehurst Park is an elegant 130 room 150[when?] year old mansion located near the village of Bolney, East Sussex, in England. It is a Gothic Revival mansion with turrets, arches and conical roofs. Many architectural devices give it the appearance of a fairytale mansion. The large black gates are fashioned in wrought iron. Massive griffins with spread wings perch on either side of the gates. The entrance to the property leads down a pebble drive to a grassed patio surrounding the house, descending to a garden and lawn at the back.

The house came into prominence in the early 1970s, when the exterior shots of the house were used in The Legend of Hell House, a psychological horror film.

If you are able to get right up to the French windows you will just be able to view a grand, wide, polished wood staircase beginning the passage to the numerous rooms and accommodation upstairs.[original research?]
