Preston Manor - steeped in history...

If you enjoyed the Brighton Royal Pavilion, it’s also worth popping into Preston Manor, which is a historical feature initially built around the 1600’s. There are over 20 rooms to explore in the tour and a fee is chargeable. You should also note that the Manor is closed during the winter (between October and March). It's often said that Preston Manor is one of Brighton's hidden gems, and one well worth a visit during your stay in Brighton.

It's a classic example of a perfectly kept Edwardian home.

Guided tours of Preston Manor are available for tour groups.

Preston Manor was originally developed in 1600, although it saw refurbishments in 1738 and 1905. The house was owned by the Stanfords who built their wealth mainly through real estate.

Aside from the home, which you can explore in full, there are also some lovely lawn gardens which make the entire estate a wonderful sight as you approach.

Inside the rooms all have certain themes - for instance, the morning room (actually a study), Cleves room (the name derives from the painting of Anne of Cleves which hangs here), and so on.
