This Grade II-listed farmhouse in Ringmer near Lewes has recently gone on sale for £2.5 million. Clayhill House was built in the mid 16th Century by William Newton, who also built the grand Southover Grange in Lewes.
Photos: Zoopla Newton had moved from Cheshire in 1544 and lived at Lewes Priory, leased at the time by King Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. He built Clayhill House for his second son with a timber frame, brick and a clay roof. The seven-bedroom home comes with several outbuildings including a Sussex Barn, a former milking parlour and cow sheds, a separate granary, a cart shed and an open garage.
