GV II
Dwelling, now residential home for the elderly blind. Dated 1892, extended soon after. Red brick with ashlar dressings, green slate roof, lead covered ogee cap to oriel turret, tall external chimney stacks. Jacobean style. Plan: parallel range with cross gable forming entrance front. 2 storeys plus attic, 4-bay frontage, 2-storey oriel turret at junction of west and south facades, 4- and 6-light mullion and transom windows, 2 in gabled dormers right, centre balustraded first floor oriel of 6 lights with arch-head window carried on 3 shaped brackets, arch-head entrance with unglazed 2-bay opening above, panelled dado to porch, recessed half-glazed door, sidelights and fanlight with ornamental leading, similar inner door. Oriel turret at junction of facades lit on 3 faces. Long south front to Lansdowne Road (North side) distinguished by full-height bay window with balustraded parapet and leaded windows, which lights the staircase. Interior: ground floor only seen, contains few features of interest apart from the original staircase with turned balusters and moulded handrail. On view in the hall is a pen and ink drawing of the house dated 1892 and signed by A.N.Bromley. The house is said to have been built for a German doctor, presumably J.C. Uhthoff, physician, who in 1896 is the first recorded occupant of the house in the street directories. The main expenditure seems to have been on the exterior of the building, which occupies a prominent position in Hove.
