Built in the 1840s as a large residence that later became a school and from 1921 the New Sussex Hospital, which specialised in gynaecological problems and was entirely staffed by women until the mid 1960s. By the 1980s it had become a community psychiatric hospital and finally closed in 1998. After a few years empty and derelict the original house was refurbished and converted into residences whilst the outbuildings to the west which had been added over the years were demolished and replaced with flats.
