Slindon House

Slindon House is a house dating from the early 18th century, which was significantly altered around 1800 and extended in the 1960s in a matching style. The front and rear walls are of red brick in a distinctive Flemish bond pattern, with grey headers creating a diaper effect. The side walls are of stone rubble. The roof is tiled, with brick chimneystacks at the gable of the south end and at the south end of a rear outshot. The building follows a two-bay end chimneystack plan.

The exterior presents two windows on the original part, with an additional ground floor window to the south lean-to. Early 20th-century casement windows, with leaded lights, are fitted, the ground floor windows having cambered heads. A central doorcase, also with a cambered head, frames a plank door. The rear outshot has a catslide roof.

The original interior layout comprised two rooms on each floor and the outshot; the ground floor south room was the only one originally heated. This room features a wide open fireplace with a wooden bressumer, bearing marks believed to be charms against witches, a brass plaque marked with the Cowdray estate number "C111", and side wooden seats. The exposed floor joists were originally plastered, as evidenced by nail holes. A surviving original timber partition, built with stretcher bond infilling, separates the south room from the outshot. The original partition between the two ground floor rooms has been removed, but the north room retains exposed floor joists and a tiled floor. A 20th-century straight flight staircase with a large turned wooden newel post now occupies the space where the original staircase once stood in the northwest corner of the south room. Timber framing is visible from the outshot. On the first floor, the original partition between the rooms remains, along with the outline of a chimneystack and oak floorboards. The roof was not inspected, but original rafters incorporating ash poles were reported.

Historically, the property belonged to the Cowdray estate until 1909. It appears on the Tithe Map of 1846 and with a larger footprint on the 1874 Ordnance Survey map, likely indicating a now-demolished outbuilding. Local tradition recalls the outshot being used for pig raising.
