Description
Brightling Park is a two-storey house with an attic, built in the early 18th century. The north front features nine windows and four dormers that are concealed by a parapet. It is constructed of red brick with grey headers on an ashlar base, and has a painted stringcourse, brick cornice, and parapet. The hipped slate roof complements the design. The windows have keystones above them and retain their glazing bars. The east front includes five windows and two dormers, along with a canted bay on both floors. The main entrance is located at the head of nine steps and is framed by pilasters, a projecting cornice, and a door with six fielded panels. The house has been reduced in size due to the demolition of the south wings since it was first listed. The estate was acquired by Thomas Fuller in 1697, and he built the house, originally named Rose Hill after his wife, Rose, who was an heiress from Jamaica. The Fullers were successful ironmasters in Sussex.
