Reign in Queen Anne elegance
A pretty, well-positioned Queen Anne house in East Sussex with good proximity to local schools has been launched on the market


What family would not wish to spend 20 years or more behind the elegant Queen Anne façade of 17th-century Little Bucksteep, which sits amid banks of rhododendrons and magical landscaped gardens in the heart of unspoilt countryside, a mile and a half from the pretty East Sussex village of Dallington?
