There has been a house on this ancient site since The Domesday Book, but the existing graceful manor house dates back to the 1830s, when it was built for a prominent local family, some of whom went on to become important political figures in the area. Built from a beautiful and unusual knapped flint under a traditional slate roof, the house has been restored and the internal layout altered to create a very comfortable private family home.

Approached over a long private carriage drive (with no footpaths), the house faces north with south-facing gardens. There are 6 reception rooms, a fabulous new kitchen/ breakfast room, 7 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms. Further outbuildings have potential for an indoor pool, for which an application has been submitted.

The estate includes an entrance lodge, guest cottage, and 2 staff flats, together with a traditional stable yard with up to 20 loose boxes, an outdoor manege, and the Flint Halls - a superb private party barn suitable for a commercial venture or a venue for weddings for which the estate has a licence.

The gardens are beautiful and the South Downs provide a breathtaking backdrop to the house.
