Looes Barn is one of three flint barns that occupied Saltdean Bottom prior to the construction of the suburb of Saltdean, the others being Saltdean Park and Newlands Barn, both now converted. This flint barn dates from the early 19th century and remained in agricultural use much longer than the other two. By the late 1980s it was derelict and wouldn't be restored until 2002-03 when it was converted into a pair of residential dwellings and its former yard becoming a cul de sac off Saltdean Vale.
