Description
This is an early 18th-century house, originally believed to be a farmhouse. It's located on Rogate Rake. The walls are mostly rubble hythe stone, but the north front is ashlar with red brick dressings and quoins. The roof is tiled. The facade features a large coat of arms in a shallow recess on the first floor, containing a shield with a lion and leopard, flanked by two cambered brick arches. Above the recess is a small central pediment containing a round attic window, and a grotesque stone head sits above the pediment's apex. The house has sash windows with intact glazing bars; these windows are smaller than the coat of arms recess. A doorway is topped by a flat hood supported on brackets. The eastern side has had one window bay added. The house is two storeys high and features three windows. Local tradition suggests it was originally a shooting box for the Uppark Estate, South Harting, which previously encompassed the Rake area.
