Chyngton House

Chyngton House is an 18th-century house with medieval origins, located on Chyngton Lane, Seaford. The site was originally granted by Gilbert De Aquila in the reign of Henry III to the Priory of Michelham, becoming a grange after a small chapel was built. During alterations in the 18th or 19th century, what appeared to be Early English windows and other architectural features were uncovered. The main house is stuccoed over a flint building, with a steeply pitched hipped roof covered in new tiles. It is two storeys and an attic in height, with eight windows arranged in four widely spaced pairs, each a sash window with glazing bars and louvred shutters. Three hipped dormers project from the roof. A modern, centrally located enclosed porch with a hipped roof has been added. Modern brick chimney stacks are present. The rear elevation shows exposed flint, with stone quoins, and red brick window dressings. A rear wing is constructed of flint with brick quoins and has a half-hipped roof.
