Dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The road is Hayreed Lane which dates back to Roman times when it was the local route connecting Chichester to Pevensey Castle. It remained the main east west route throughout the centuries and briefly became the main Lewes-Eastbourne turnpike in 1792 before it was superseded by the shorter and more direct turnpike to the south which is now the main A27. The lane provides access for this house and Pickhams further to the west before becoming a restricted byway.
