About this property

An exceptional ‘small country estate’, located just outside Alfriston, within the South Downs National Park. Follers Manor is grade II listed of historical interest and is believed to date from the eighteenth century or earlier and, having evolved over the years, it retains fine features of each of the different periods of its construction. In the earlier part of the house there are beamed ceilings of good height and elsewhere there are large elegant windows that afford good lighting through the principal rooms which command breathtaking views over the gardens to the South Downs.
