West Dean College West Dean Park

West Dean College, located on Chichester Road, was originally built in 1804 by James Wyatt for Lord Selsey, replacing an older structure. The building was significantly enlarged in 1893 by Sir Ernest George and Harold Peto for D James. The west wing's facade, which remains largely intact, features two storeys with five windows, a three-storey tower with one window, and an additional two-storey window bay. The exterior is constructed from knapped flints and topped with a castellated parapet. It includes casement windows with stone mullions and transoms. The original pointed window and gable above the main entrance have been replaced by a tower.

To the east, there was originally a ground-floor corridor leading to a two-storey tower with pointed-headed sash windows, which has since been extended to three storeys and filled in by the east wing built in 1893. The pointed sash windows of the tower remain, and there is a round turret behind it containing a circular staircase. The service wing also dates back to Wyatt's time.

Most of the interior was remodeled in 1893 in a lavish style, partly inspired by French 18th-century decoration, although some chimney pieces from 1804 can still be found in a few less significant rooms. A subsidiary staircase from this period is also present. Notably, King Edward VII frequently visited the college, staying with Mr and Mrs William James, who were close friends of his.
