Eastbourne houses [21]
The Compton Place estate comprises a house built in 1726 on the site of a Jacobean house, an office wing, stables and coach houses, all set in a listed garden. The house, now used as an educational establishment, was extensively altered circa 1800. It is an 'E' shaped building constructed of red brick, stuccoed in the early 19th century, under a slate roof. The north front, seen here, has a large porch with 4 Doric columns. Some fine internal plasterwork remains. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1353113 The gardens are on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, grade II, and there is much history and detail at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000735 Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort on the south coast of East Sussex, some 54 miles south of London and about 19 miles east of Brighton. Although there is evidence of settlement from the Stone Age onwards, Eastbourne remained an area of small rural settlements until the railway arrived in 1849. A resort, built "for gentlemen by gentlemen", was planned and the town's growth accelerated from a population of less than 4,000 in 1851 to nearly 35,000 by 1891. Tourism is a large and important part of the economy of the town.
