This property is listed with Crispin Holborow and Will Peppitt of Savills. It is accepting offers in the region of £8,950,000.

This gorgeous Grade II-listed Georgian home has been renovated extensively, combining contemporary style with elegant period finishes and reconfigured to provide an elegant flow from informal to formal living areas. 

Commanding an elevated position in the Sussex countryside, the Georgian manor home offers sweeping views across its 57 acre estate, overlooking the ancient town of Rye, as well as the sea—the beautiful beaches at Camber Sands are 7 miles away. 

Although the site dates back to the 13th century, the current Georigan house dates back to 1800, built for a local banker and Town Clerk of Rye, Jeremiah Curteis. Over the years, its owners have included several members of Parliament, and the property was also used as a private school. 

Period details include high ceilings with elegant cornicing, deep sculptured door architraves, moulded panelling and decorative plaster garlands. 

A music room, designed with higher ceilings for optimal acoustics, features a beautiful marble fireplace. There are fireplaces in the sitting room and drawing room and several rooms have working shutters. The grand staircase features an original, large sash window. 

Leasam House has formal gardens, terraced lawns, and charming stone paths among the colourful flower beds, bordered with charming brick retaining walls. There is also a water garden and tennis court. 

In addition to the main manor home, there is also a three-bedroom grange house, and converted stables offering 19 garage spaces.
