A beautiful Grade II* listed country house dating back to the 1830s, situated in a mature parkland setting on the edge of the South Downs National Park. 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...
Property Oracle says ..
Folkington Manor is a substantial property located in the desirable South Downs National Park. The location offers a tranquil setting while remaining relatively close to Polegate and other amenities. The proximity to several well-regarded schools, including Polegate Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), adds to its appeal for families. Access to transportation links, such as Polegate railway station, provides convenient access to Eastbourne and other towns.
The property itself appears to be in excellent condition, exhibiting features consistent with a well-maintained period property. The images show high-quality finishes, updated amenities, and a well-preserved traditional style. The extensive grounds are a significant asset, suggesting a high land score. The sheer size and scale of the land, encompassing extensive lawns, formal gardens, and woodland, are noteworthy.
Given the property’s size, condition, location, and the extensive grounds, the list price of £10,000,000 is high compared to the average price in the area. However, the uniqueness of Folkington Manor as a substantial period property within the South Downs National Park justifies a higher price per square foot than the average for the region. The exceptional quality of the property and the extensive land contribute to the overall value.
Therefore, we give this property 9 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
