Currently home to Mid Sussex District Council though there are talks about moving to another site in Perrymount Road. Built in the 1860s as a large villa it was acquired in 1933 along with the grounds to become the administrative headquarters of Cuckfield Urban District Council which was instituted in 1934 and covered much of modern Haywards Heath. The building was extended in the 1960s with extensions either side and after the local government reorganisation in 1974 became the administrative centre for the newly constituted district of Mid Sussex.
