West Dean House, Manor house in West Dean, England.
The flint-faced West Dean House spreads across 6,350 acres of land near Chichester, featuring extensive gardens with Victorian glasshouses and a 300-foot pergola.
The Domesday Book of 1086 first mentioned the West Dean Estate as part of Singleton manor, with the Earls of Arundel holding these lands for five centuries.
The Edward James Foundation transformed the estate into West Dean College in 1971, establishing programs in conservation, arts, crafts, writing, gardening, and music.
The Grade II listed building includes 136 residential properties, over 100 farm buildings, and maintains agricultural activities divided between livestock and cereal production.
Edward James, the last private owner, supported artists like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte before converting the estate into an educational institution.
