West Dean House is a large flint-faced manor house situated in West Dean, West Sussex, England, near the historic city of Chichester. The country estate has approximately 6,350 acres (25.7 km2) of land and dates back to 1086, with various royal connections throughout the years. In 1971 the estate became the home of West Dean College, a centre of study of conservation, arts, crafts, writing, gardening, and music.
West Dean is Grade II* listed on the National Heritage List for England, and its landscaped park and gardens are equally listed Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
