Built in late C17, probably in 1683, by Philip Caryll, whose family owned the estate from 1609 to 1752. Two storeys, attic and basement above ground level. Five windows. Two gabled dormers. Built of stone, quarried on the estate, with red brick dressings and rusticated quoins. Two parallel ranges, each with shaped Dutch gable ends and chimney breasts at each end. Horsham slab roof. Central two-storeyed projection with shaped gable containing porch with round-headed doorway and room over. Casement windows with wooden mullions and transoms and small square panes. Small modern bays on ground floor with hoods of Horsham slabs. Modern ground floor addition of three windows at north end with L-wing of two storeys to north-west. The original kitchen and cellars are stone-vaulted.
The Caryll family were Roman Catholics, and the house contains several priest-holes. In the late C19 and early C20 the house belonged to Wilfred Scawen Blunt, author, poet, traveller and breeder of Arab horses, who lived and died here and is buried in the grounds behind the house. The building still contains the William Morris tapestry and furniture that Blunt had made for it.
Very unusual Sussex house with interesting historical assications.
