£3m East Sussex 13th century hotel up for sale


The Star Inn in Alfriston, East Sussex, a historic property with origins from the 13th century, has come to market through Fleurets, with a price tag of £3m.

The inn, now operating as a 37-bed hotel, was originally run by monks and further stories imply that the coaching inn was historically a popular stopping point for smugglers. The original Tudor fascia is still in place and other elements of the building reputedly date back almost 800 years.

The current owners have carried out a high quality refurbishment programme on the deceptively large corner property, which also possesses a restaurant, bar, conference rooms, car park, enclosed gardens and spacious owner’s/manager’s accommodation.

Nick Earee of Fleurets is marketing the premises and commented, “The Star Inn fronts the high street of this charming village. Furthermore, there are a host of local visitor attractions, including Drusilla’s Zoo Park, the English Wine Centre, Glyndeborne Opera House and the rolling hills of the South Downs and Cuckmere River. Fleurets is expecting high levels of interest.”
