Full Description: <p><strong>Wannock Place</strong> is a remarkable Grade II Listed home, believed to date from the sixteenth century and later transformed in the eighteenth century to create its handsome Georgian frontage. Set behind a short driveway and gravelled parking area, the house combines elegant proportions with rich period detail, including flint elevations, sash windows and a wealth of original features.</p><p>Inside, the accommodation is light and beautifully presented, arranged over three floors plus a cellar. A welcoming reception hall is flanked by two versatile reception rooms (ideal for home working or a guest bedroom with its brand new en-suite shower room!), while the older and later parts of the house connect via an inner hall showcasing historic character. The <strong>dual-aspect sitting room</strong> is a standout space, featuring a vaulted section with a window rising to the apex and a striking inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, framing views across the pond and gardens. The adjoining dining room offers a bay window seat, parquet flooring and a further stove, with doors leading through to a playroom/study and conservatory.</p><p>The <strong>kitchen/breakfast room</strong> is fitted with bespoke painted cabinetry and granite worktops, complemented by a matching dresser and a generous walk-in larder, with access down to the cellar for additional storage and utility space.</p><p>On the first floor, the <strong>principal suite</strong> occupies the entire rear elevation of the oldest part of the house and includes a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with bath and separate shower. Three further bedrooms are found on this floor (one with en suite), together with a spacious family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor.</p><strong>Gardens & Grounds</strong><p>The gardens are a particular highlight: a series of beautifully arranged <strong>walled gardens</strong> providing sheltered seating areas, cottage-style planting, patio spaces and a larger formal garden ideal for entertaining, centred around a <strong>pond</strong> and level lawn bordered by well-stocked beds. Beyond, the grounds include a kitchen garden and greenhouses, plus a range of useful outbuildings including secure storage, a gardener’s workshop/store and a detached garage with <strong>EV charging point</strong>.</p><strong>Equestrian Facilities</strong><p>For equestrian buyers, the facilities are exceptional. The yard includes <strong>eleven stables</strong> with feed/tack storage, an L-shaped block with seven brick-built boxes and an open barn, two further stable blocks, and additional feed storage within a former granary. There is direct access to the <strong>sand school</strong> and paddocks, with the yard, stables and paddocks falling within the <strong>South Downs National Park</strong> boundary.</p><strong>Location</strong><p>Wannock Place is situated in Wannock, between <strong>Polegate (approx. 1 mile)</strong> and <strong>Eastbourne (approx. 4 miles)</strong>, with excellent access to local amenities, schools and transport links.
