Description
Ovingdean Hall School is an 18th-century mansion, originally built around 1782 for Nathaniel Kemp. The building is constructed of yellow mathematical tiles, white brick, and stucco, with a slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a six-window front, arranged as a central two-window section flanked by two windows on each side. A pedimented Doric porch features a round-arched entrance with sidelights, a fanlight, and panelled double doors. All windows have flat arches with white gauged brick dressings, and a pediment with an oculus sits above the central section. A cornice and parapet complete the façade. The right-hand return features a three-storey wing to the rear, faced with cobbles and brick dressings. To the left is a rendered section, followed by a yellow brick range incorporating early 19th-century sash windows of original design on the ground floor and a further tile-hung addition to the north. The roof is hipped. The interior has not been inspected.
