The Dipperays And Gazebo

The Dipperays and Gazebo is a notable late 18th century house located in East Dean. It stands two storeys high with an attic and features three windows, along with two pedimented dormers. The exterior is constructed of red brick and grey headers arranged alternately, complemented by rusticated quoins of the same materials. A flush stringcourse of grey headers runs along the building, topped with a dentilled eaves cornice. The roof is tiled, and the house has two curved bays on both the ground and first floors; the bases are made of red brick and grey headers, while the upper sections are covered in black (and in one spot, red) mathematical tiles. The glazing bars remain intact. Access to the house is via a doorway that is approached by five steps, featuring fluted pilasters, a pediment, and a door with six fielded panels. The side walls are constructed of flints and include two Venetian windows, with two additional blocked windows in the south-west wall. At the north-east corner, a flint wall connects the house to a small square gazebo made of red brick and grey headers, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof and a ball finial.
