Mews, built to serve the east range of Lewes Crescent and
Sussex Square. 1840-1860. Stucco. Roofs of slate. Walls to
Arundel Place of pebble with brick lacing courses. L-plan with
a triangular forecourt enclosed by high wall to road.
EXTERIOR: for the most part it has 2 storeys over basement.
10-window range to wall which forms the north border of the
courtyard, in effect, the main elevation of the group;
7-window range wall enclosing east side of same. The return of
north range, 2 windows, its rear has an 8-window range. The
rear, or east-facing elevation of the other range, has a
4-window range. Tuscan Vernacular Revival style. A 4-window
range section of the main elevation projects forward slightly
to form a 2-and-a-half-storey bay topped by a pediment filled
with a blind roundel; 2 round-arched openings, larger than any
other openings in the complex and subordered, to the ground
floor of this, that to the right an entrance. A second
entrance, this elliptical arched, set in the east arm of the
group. All other ground-floor openings but for one are round
arched and connected by a broad, plain springing band to give
the impression of an arcaded cortile. The remaining windows
are flat arched. All windows with projecting sills. Broad
eaves with projecting roof rafters to all elevations. Many
windows with sashes of an original design off the courtyard:
to ground floor 6-pane lower sashes with 9-pane uppers, many
of the latter with glazing bars in a semicircular pattern. On
the first floor, 4 sashes of an original design survive, all 3
x 3; there are three 6 x 6 sashes of an original design to the
low building to the south, which is included in this listing
for its group value. The theme of an arcaded ground floor
picked up on the north-facing, or rear elevation of the main
block, but here the windows are flat arched set in
round-arched recesses; plain springing band to all. Only 2
sashes of original design on this elevation: 3 x 6 in the
second- and third-window ranges of the first floor.
Not included in this listing are the group of low buildings
attached to the north-east corner of the mews.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Included for group value with the major Lewes and Sussex
Crescents.
