The Grade II listed houses of Highlands Gardens were constructed around 1880 in the striking Scottish Baronial style, characterised by their castle like appearance, stepped gables, turrets and dramatic architectural detailing.

The location: Highlands Gardens is a distinctive residential road within the historic Burton’s St Leonards Conservation Area, one of the most architecturally significant parts of St Leonards-on-Sea. Developed during the late Victorian period, the road is renowned for its impressive Scottish Baronial-style houses, several of which date from around 1880 and are Grade II listed for their architectural importance. The road enjoys an enviable position just above the historic St Leonards Gardens, a picturesque valley garden originally designed in 1828. Highlands Gardens is ideally located within easy reach of the seafront promenade, local cafés and amenities, while St Leonards Warrior Square railway station provides convenient rail connections to London, Brighton and Ashford. The combination of historic architecture, proximity to the coast, and access to beautifully landscaped gardens makes Highlands Gardens one of the most desirable residential locations in St Leonards-on-Sea.
