Description
Lamb House is a 17th-century house that was clad in the mid-18th century. The ground floor features a red and blue brick chequer pattern, while the first floor is covered in painted tile-hanging. There is a wooden bressumer under the first-floor jetty. The house has a plain tiled roof with a wooden modillion eaves cornice, a stack on the right, and a hipped dormer that is off-centre to the left. It has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front that includes casements on the first floor and sashes on the ground floor. The central entrance has a panelled door with glazed upper panels and a flat hood supported by brackets. Inside, there is an 18th-century partition made of late 17th-century Coromandel panels between the hall and a ground floor room. This partition was discovered in 1967, covered with extracts from the Lewes Journal from 1794, 1795, and 1796. The corridor panels depict a lotus pond, while the room panels illustrate a hunting scene.
