One of Friston's most important houses of great character set within extensive mature gardens and affording breathtaking views.

Believed to be designed by the renowned architect Alwyn Underdown, this fine spacious home retains its fine period features which include an impressive inglenook style fireplace and a wealth of oak panelling. The lovely and extensive gardens and grounds provide a wonderful secluded setting which is extremely rare for houses in the Friston area which also secures breathtaking views. Although now in need of updating the property affords vast potential to create one of the finest homes in this sought after location.

Tolmans is enviably located on Warren Lane and approached by a gated entrance drive. Friston is set within miles of scenic downland countryside forming part of the South Downs National Park. The sea at nearby Birling Gap and local shopping facilities as well as the ancient Tiger Inn are close by at East Dean. Eastbourne is about 4 miles distant offering a range of popular private and state schools, theatres and one of the largest sailing marinas on the south coast. There are mainline rail services to London Victoria and to Gatwick, world class opera is at nearby Glyndebourne and channel ferries are from Newhaven.
