Viewed from Hurstwood Lane and built in 1870 on the site of Wivelsfield's former medieval tanyard that operated from the 14th century to the 1830s when it was unsuccessfully put up for sale. Although marked as a tannery on the 1843 tithe map it was no longer operational. Nothing much remains though the grounds of the house has a few ponds that were converted from the 65 pits a tanyard was once required to possess. The building was originally called Hurstwood House.
