A large locally listed house dating from the mid 19th century, one of a number from that period as the southern slopes of Reigate Hill were developed as a fashionable place to live. It is now divided into flats. At the end of the 19th century the residents were recorded as James Backhouse Crosfields (a tea dealer, quaker and ornithologist, who had served two terms as President of the Holmesdale Natural History Club - see Image), Herbert Crosfield and a Miss Crosfield. In 1913, a Miss Crosfield is still recorded as living there, with reference to her being a suffragette.
