Brantridge Park

Brantridge Park

Brantridge Park, Balcombe, West Sussex, England is one of the lesser royal residences. Standing in Brantridge Forest, it was the seat of the 1st Earl of Athlone, and his wife, Princess Alice of Albany, the last surviving granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Princess Beatrice, youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, also lived in Brantridge Park from 1919 to 1944.

More recently the house was divided into apartments, and operated as a time-share resort until January 2008.
