GV I
Large irregular-shaped house of various periods. The main front facing North East was built by William White in the early C17, but it contains some older work inside. It is a timber-framed building, partly close-studded and partly painted in imitation of this, on a red brick base. Three storeys. Nine windows. Three gables overhanging on carved bressummers and brackets with carved bargeboards and finials. The right one has the date 1617 and the initials W M W (William and Mary White) and the centre one the date 1633. Tiled roof. Ornamental mid- C19 red brick chimney stacks. Casement windows with wooden mullions and transoms. C18 doorway with pilasters and shell hood. Bay above it of two tiers of 6-lights. On each side of the doorway is a similar bay but of two storeys with a small 3-light window flanking it. The rainwater-head has the date 1835 and the initials T F T (Thomas Frewen Turner). On the South East wall is a red brick chimney breast dated 1842. To the North East is a curved wing on ground floor only dated 1845. These alterations and additions were probably made by Sydney Smirke. The South East wing in imitation timbering was added by Thomas Frewen in 1873. The interior contains early C17 panelling, elaborate late C17 or early C18 plaster ceilings and a staircase of same date. The house was bought in 1666 by Stephen Frewen, fourth son of the Rev John Frewen, the founder of the Frewen dynasty in Northiam and was occupied by the Frewen family until the C20. It is now a Boys' School.
