History

Hillside was built in 1724 as a farmhouse for West Side farm in Rottingdean. [1] It has an 18th-century red and grey brick facade. [2] In 1822, a gazebo was built in the garden, looking out onto Falmer Road; the gazebo was listed as a building of special architectural or historic interest in 1952. [1] [3] The property also contains a 17th-century barn, which became a Grade II listed building in 1973. [1] [4] The barn neighbours Kipling's Garden, and in 2013, developers proposed turning the barn into a house. [5] In 1894, the building is listed as being owned by a Colonel A.M. Phillips. [6]

All of the Hillside buildings are part of the Rottingdean Conservation Area since its creation in 1970. [2]
