Horsted Place, English country house in Little Horsted, England.
Horsted Place is an English country house built in Tudor Revival style with distinctive towers and high brick chimneys that define its roofline. The interior is organized around a central gallery that runs through the entire length of the building and connects the spaces.
The estate was built in 1850 by architects Samuel Daukes and George Myers for a wealthy London merchant who had inherited his fortune from his godfather. It later became a favored retreat for British high society in the 20th century.
The house served as a gathering place for the British upper classes and played a role in the social life of the surrounding area. Visitors can still see the rooms that were once used for formal receptions and social occasions.
The location now functions as a country house hotel welcoming visitors who wish to explore both the history and stay overnight. The estate sits on larger grounds with a registered park and garden, offering opportunities for outdoor exploration.
The property received protected status for both the building and its gardens and park grounds, reflecting double significance for cultural heritage. This combined recognition makes it a rare example where architecture and landscape are equally valued.
