Built in the C15 as a home for the Wardens of the Bridge, who were the monks
of Sele Priory at Upper Beeding. Probably a court-yard house originally, of
which this is the only surviving wing. Timber-framed building with first floor
close-studded and oversailing on the protruding ends of the floor joists, bressumer
and brackets on the north and east sides. Ground floor of east front rebuilt
in brick and flints. Plaster infilling. Hipped Horsham slab roof. Ground
floor windows modern. First floor windows of east front original casement
windows including a small projecting window of 2 tiers of three lights and
one of two tiers of five lights, both with wooden mullions and transoms and
diamond-shaped leaded panes. Two storeys and attic. Four windows and three
hipped dormers facing east. Two windows and one dormer facing north. C19
flint addition to west and later brick addition beyond that. The interior
has a good staircase, fine chimney-pieces and a room with painted panelled
walls.
Crested wrought iron gate to the garden to north-east of the house.
