The flint buildings date from the late 19th century and until the 1930s were one of the few dwellings in what was to become Findon Valley. A manor house existed in the 17th century which had become two tenements by the 19th which were replaced by the current building as two cottages which were later knocked into one. Much of the former farm land was transferred to Worthing in 1933 after which the suburb was developed. The house lies towards the eastern end of Coombe Rise. Two other farm buildings out of shot to the right have also been converted into residences.
