The Georgian front has a beautiful brick elevation and the older part of the house has timber framed origins. The house forms one side of a charming courtyard which includes the former coach house, stables, dairy and tithe barn which has been beautifully restored.

The 18th century elevation overlooks the gardens with an attractive listed dovecote in one corner. The house was at one time the home of the famous 18th century historian Edward Gibbon, who wrote The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The Manor House is a wonderful historic house with immense character and a wealth of architectural detail, which has been recently refurbished to a high standard throughout. The reception hall doubles as a comfortable sitting room with some fine panelling, believed to date from the 17th century.

The 18th century part of the house features a garden hall and an original staircase. The sitting room and drawing rooms both have period fireplaces and lovely views over the garden, with the South Downs providing an impressive backdrop. The dining room is an intimate room leading through to the family kitchen which has a gas fired Aga and breakfast room with an attractive beamed ceiling. Off the back hall is a utility room, a freezer room and two cloakrooms.

The bedroom accommodation is laid out on two floors with access via the 18th century staircase, or the secondry stairs. There are four excellent bedroom suites in the Georgian part of the house, including a master bedroom suite, all with beautiful views of the gardens and South Downs beyond. In the earlier part of the house there are four further bedrooms and bathrooms, two of which are en suite. The master suite spans most of one side of the house with ‘his’ and ‘hers’ bathrooms. On the second floor is an elegant library.
