High Hascombe

High Hascombe is a house built in 1896-1897 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, originally named Sullingstead. A Neo-Georgian ballroom was added in 1903. The building features a timbered style with rendered infill over a whitewashed brick base, tile hung at the ends, and brick on the garden front. It has plain tiled roofs, hipped to the right on the main range, and three gables across the front with eaves that are joined and swept out.

The house is two storeys with attics, featuring three flat roof dormers and one hipped roof dormer. There are cross ridge stacks to the right and a panelled stack to the left. Each gable has a narrow breather, and the leaded casement windows are arranged with five on the first floor, four below, and one between floors, wrapping around the corner to the right.

The ground floor door, located left of centre, is set in a 4-centred arched surround with the date 1897 in the spandrels and the initials "C & A" above. Ogee bracing is visible on the first floor. To the right, there is a two-window range and a lower range that is set back again to the right, featuring a hipped dormer, deep eaves, and two ground floor windows.

On the left, there are lower extensions with hipped and gabled attics, and a hipped roof parallel range at the front left. A door is located on the return wall. The double gable has an arch at the base of the panelled stack, with one first floor sash window in each gable and a round window on the ground floor left.

At the rear, hipped roofs cover the tile hung first floor range. A billiard room projects to the left, topped with a massive plate glass dormer above three ground floor cambered head sash windows. The house was originally part of a garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll.
