Before 1800 there was a house on this site occupied by the poet William
Hayley who laid out gardens round it. In 1800 he sold the house to William
Huskisson, MP for Chichester, who enlarged it. This house was entirely
rebuilt in 1905 by Sir Edwin Lutyens but the interior contains one room, the
drawing-room with the principal bedroom over it, which has simple Regency
decorations and good fireplaces. The modern house which faces south is in
Lutyens simpler manner. Two storeys and attic. Faced with roughcast. Coved
eaves cornice. Tiled roof. Windows with Venetian shutters and glazing bars.

window bay on each side. The west front has five windows, the centre one
recessed. The north front has eight windows, the three westernmost ones
