Herstmonceux Place is an 18th-century country house on Church Road in Herstmonceux, a village in East Sussex, England. In 1777 the house was enlarged for the Reverend Robert Hare, with Samuel Wyatt overseeing the work. Bricks for the extension were taken from Herstmonceux Castle.[1] It was divided into apartments in the 1950s. The house stands within a 148-hectare (370-acre) shared estate with the castle. Herstmonceux Place is a Grade I listed building.[1]

The gardens and parks of Herstmonceux Place and Castle are Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[2]
