Pekes Manor Estate

For weddings or other large gatherings we offer self catering accommodation in six houses for up to about fifty people.

The Manor House is the largest sleeping sixteen to twenty in eight double bedrooms. It has a large lawn at the back about the size of two tennis courts with lots of room for a marquee. There is an imposing entrance drive with ample parking before you reach the house. For further information please click Weddings or check it on the top menu.

Peaceful yet close to London, with exceptional freedom to use the facilities: exotic indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, lawn badminton, hard Macadam style tennis court and extensive grounds.

The coastline is entirely flat at Pevensey Bay …one reason why he chose to land there. He had no sooner arrived than he considered England HIS and started giving it away. One of the first parcels of land he handed out went to one of his aides, Monsieur de Peke, who built the first house to stand on the site of the present property. It was a large one room Norman Hall …only his name survives. It is now an eight bed-roomed residence rebuilt and modernised in Tudor times about 1550.

You can find out more about “Pekes” in the “Sussex Archaeological Collections” book, Volume LIII, published by the Sussex Archaeological Society. The present owner of Pekes, grandaughter of the gentleman who purchased the estate in 1908, has converted the property to a very confortable home.
