Estate Agent Fleurets has been instructed to market the freehold of the Brickwall Hotel and Restaurant, Sedlescombe, near Battle.

The 25-bedroom, Tudor mansion-style hotel in the heart of 1066 countryside is listed with the guide price of £1,550,000 plus stock at valuation.

The property is a historic building dating back to the 16th century, with later extensions. It was originally built for the local ironmaster in 1599.

Overlooking the award-winning picturesque village green, the hotel comprises a restaurant and garden room with 130 covers, bar and lounge areas, detached owners/staff accommodation, and a good-sized car park.

Nick Earee, divisional director of Fleurets, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a well-established hotel in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property has been privately owned and run by the same family for the last 40 years, and it has now come to market as a genuine retirement sale.”
