Range of farm buildings, now residential. Alongside the large ‘Ovingdean House’ (now demolished), and the farmhouse (not of special interest) these buildings formed the historic settlement of ‘Woodendean’. The agricultural buildings are arranged around a yard. One storey low building to south, adjacent to Ovingdean Road (now garages). Double height barn with prominent half-hipped slate roof to west; now with inserted dormers. Lower two storey range to north and later addition to east, with tiled roofs. Flint walls with brick dressings and some areas of tile hanging. A number of photographs survive of the buildings in the James Gray Collection. Source - Regency Society website.
