Broomham

Broomham is a building that has been converted into a school. Originally constructed as a house in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the 18th century and significantly enlarged in 1927 by architect C P Callow. The original section of the building is located at the west end. It has two storeys and features five windows. The ground floor is made of red brick, while the upper floor is tile-hung. The roof is tiled, and the windows are sash style with glazing bars. There is a two-storeyed projection in the center of the building, along with large modern additions to the east. Historically, Broomham was the residence of the junior branch of the Ashburnham family, one of the oldest families in Sussex, dating back to before the Norman Conquest, and it is the only surviving branch of that family.
