The east front has five windows and two dormers and a canted bay on both floors containing the doorway at the head of nine steps with pilasters, projecting cornice and door of six fielded panels. This house has been reduced in size by the demolition of the south wings since it was first listed. The estate was purchased by Thomas Fuller in 1697, and the house was built by him in the early years of the C18. It was then called Rose Hill after his wife, Rose who was an heiress from Jamaica. The Fullers were prosperous ironmasters in Sussex.
