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?
