Since this Grade II listed mansion was nearly destroyed by a fire, it’s been thoughtfully remodelled. It now blends eclectic contemporary design with historic charm, resulting in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind home. It sits on the banks of the River Cuckmere on the edge of Alfriston, with a backdrop of the South Downs National Park. The views can be admired from the grand balcony, the upper dining terrace, and the cypress and olive tree-filled garden. This home has everything you could wish for, including a cellar bar, a hot tub, and a yoga and pilates gym with a sauna. At full occupancy, guests nine and ten will sleep on a daybed in the library – a maximum of eight guests might be more comfortable.

*There are stairs to climb at this home so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.

*While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
