A Tudor house with Georgian additions, set in a downland park close to the South Downs. Firle Place has an important collection of English and European Old Master paintings. There is also fine French and English furniture, notable Sevres and English porcelain, plus documents relating to the Gage family who continue to live at Firle. Connections with the American War of Independence.
In 2020 Firle Place became the main location for Autumn de Wilde's feature film adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma' when the house and interiors were transformed into the Woodhouse's fictional home of Hartfield.
