Description

Windlesham House School, originally called Highden, is a large L-shaped mansion. According to Dallaway's History of West Sussex, the Goring family built a house on this site in the late 17th century, but the exterior of the current building appears to date from about a century later, with renovations made in 1838. An extra storey was added when the house was converted into a school approximately 30 years ago. The original home had two storeys and a basement that was above ground level on the east side due to the slope of the land.

The building features nine windows facing south and originally had seven windows facing east, to which five window bays have been added by the school. The construction is of red brick with alternating grey headers, and it includes long and short stone quoins. There is a stringcourse above the ground floor and a modillion cornice above the first floor. The roof is covered with pantiles, and the windows have segmental heads with keystones over intact glazing bars. The south front has a stone porch, while the east front features long and short quoins flanking the central portion of three window bays, along with a tablet above the ground floor that notes the house was renovated in 1838. There are modern school additions to the north-east and north-west that are not of special interest.
