GV II

Formerly known as: Tudor Close DEAN COURT ROAD Rottingdean.
A group of contiguous houses, now houses and flats. c1929.
Developed by the Saltdean Estate Company. The houses became
the Tudor Close Hotel shortly after 1929, were extended to the
designs of Richard Jones in 1936-7, and were reconverted into
houses and flats in the 1950s.
Flint with brick dressings principally, and some
timber-framing with infill of plaster or brick nogging; roof
of tiles.
EXTERIOR/PLAN: the buildings incorporated 2 former barns and a
cow-shed from Court Farm, and timber and tiles were taken from
other old buildings. One and 2 storeys with dormers.
The houses are built round 3 sides of 2 stone-paved
courtyards. Those to the western courtyard (Nos 1-7 consec)
have as their principal features, half-timbered, gabled
2-storeyed porches; Tudor-arched windows in groups of 3 and 4
with wooden mullions; jettied and gabled upper storeys;
ornamental carving, most notably on the bargeboards; brick
chimneys of strikingly various designs; and terracing to the
courtyard.
The south wing is shorter than the north, and the east wing
has, in the centre, a particularly ornate porch with stained
glass in the top- and side-lights.
The courtyard to the east is detailed in the same way, though
slightly more quietly, and the houses have jettied upper
storeys with entrances through French windows instead of
porches; and the chimneystacks have been removed. Because of
the lie of the land, entrances to the northern and eastern
ranges of this group are at first-floor level, with noticeably
elaborate details to the bargeboards over the entrances.
