Hulcott Nursing Home is steeped in history. Our home, formerly the village rectory, was built in 1862. It is reputed to have been designed by George Devey, the architect who was famed for developing the Wealden vernacular style and was responsible for the Hulcott School. Our home has been lovingly restored and has undergone a comprehensive yet sensitive modernisation programme. Its prominent architectural features retain its wealth of character while ensuring we can provide the highest standards of care. Our rooms and communal areas are decorated and furnished to a very high standard, supplemented by contemporary furnishings to provide bright and spacious accommodation.
