Lurking deep in the idyllic Sussex countryside is an opulent mansion which doubles as a Russian diplomatic mission.<\/p>\n

Half-hidden behind hedges and trees, Seacox Heath boasts 50 rooms and well-kept grounds.<\/p>\n

Built back in 1871 there is little sign of the property’s Russian occupants except for a security camera mounted on the entrance gate.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the mansion off the road between Flimwell and Hawkhurst has become a target for protestors.<\/p>\n

Owned by the Russian state since 1946, Seacox Heath has seen the entrance spray painted in Ukrainian colours and Ukraine’s flag hoisted on planted outside by angry residents.<\/p>\n

Local florist Lindsay Barrow told the Daily Mail: “I have known about it for some time and if you look closely you can see multiple CCTV cameras and barbed wire surrounding the place.<\/p>\n

“I’ve also seen long, black Mercedes cars going in and out of the front gates and then we had the protests.”<\/p>\n

English statesman Lord Gushen gifted Seacox Heath to the Soviet Government following the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Lord Gushen is said to have gifted the property in thanks for Russian sailors who had saved his son during the war.<\/p>\n
