The property – Gatewick in Church Lane, Steyning – is on sale through agents Savills and has a guide price of £2,750,000.
It is Grade II listed with a rich and varied history. Originally a Tudor farmhouse, the existing house was built with a red brick façade from the late 17th century, with a flint stone tower probably added in the early 19th century. It was acquired by the Yorke family in 1953, and a programme of improvement and restorations began. They drew inspiration from Georgian architecture for their renovations; it is these restorations for which the property is listed, including an elegant front doorway modelled on one from Downing Street.
It is set in around 6.5 acres.
