Description
Rock House is an early 19th-century building that stands two storeys high and features three windows. It is constructed from Wealden sandstone and Bognor stone rubble, with stuccoed window surrounds and quoins. The roof is tiled, and the glazing bars are intact. A narrow, steep central pediment adds to its architectural interest. The doorway includes a low rectangular fanlight and a door made of six fielded panels. An additional window bay was added to the west in 1872, which is three storeys tall and has a half-hipped gable above.
