Built in 1558 as part of the Patcham Place estate, it was owned for many years by Anthony Stapley, one of the signatories of King Charles I's death warrant. the building was extended and completely rebuilt in 1764, and no trace of the older building remains behind the Classical façade with its expanses of black glazed mathematical tiles—a feature typical of Brighton buildings of the era. Contemporary uses have included a youth hostel, but the house is currently occupied by live-in security. English Heritage has listed it at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patcham_Place
