Sompting Abbotts

Sompting Abbotts is a boys' school built in 1856, designed by architect P C Hardwick in the Tudor style. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and an attic, featuring six windows and two dormers in the main block. It is faced with flints, stone dressings, quoins, and some sections of red brick, topped by a very steep slate roof. The casement windows have stone mullions and transoms.

On the south front of the main block, there is a non-central bay made of red brick, which contains a window with three central lights and two flanking lights. To the east of this bay is a gable, and to the west are two sharply steep dormers. At the southwest angle, there is a bartizan with five lights on the first floor. The service wing, which is lower in height, forms an L shape to the northeast and has two windows along with an octagonal turret that is taller than the wing itself.

The entrance front features a large square tower made of red brick that rises five storeys and projects beyond the front. There is a round turret that projects from the second floor upwards, and the steep roof is topped with an ornamental octagonal iron railing. To the west of the tower, there is an elaborate doorway made of red brick and stone, complete with side lights and a castellated parapet.
