Built in the late 19th century on a former field called Upper Riddens Wood Field according to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map and originally called Longrove. By the 1910 OS map it had become St Helena's Convalescent Home and remained so until around Second World War. By the 1950s it had become a guest house for the neighbouring Convent of the Holy Cross and was probably sold when the nuns moved to Loughborough in 1979. It is now a nursing home.
