Description

The College, including the former kitchen to the southwest, is a house dating from around 1700, which incorporates some materials from the 15th century and was restored in 1973. The building features a brown brick base with alternating bands of fishscale and diamond pattern tile hanging above. It has a main roof made of Horsham slabs laid in diminishing courses, while the extensions and rear have plain tiled roofs. The structure is two storeys high with an attic beneath a central hipped Horsham slab roof, which includes a leaded casement dormer.

The main house has end ridge stacks and a moulded wooden string course above the ground floor, along with coved moulded wooden eaves. The east front is notable for its symmetrical arrangement, showcasing a rare survival of five wooden mullion and transom 36-pane leaded casements on the first floor. There is a central six-panel door on the ground floor, which is topped by a leaded transom light and framed by an architrave surround with a flat hood supported by moulded brackets. To the right, there is a single-storey 20th-century garage extension. The rear features wings at right angles, and the former kitchen, located to the southwest, is a one-storey structure with a partially collapsed roof and two leaded arched casement windows.

Inside, the property has largely been restored, featuring an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters for the balustrade. The College was built on the site of the Old College, which was founded in 1431 by Reginald, Lord Cobham, for the training of chaplains, several of whom are buried and commemorated in the adjacent parish church.
