The exact date of the construction of Southdown House is unknown, however it is believed to have been built in the early eighteenth century, in a cluster of thirteen buildings inPatcham. The house is in the largest cluster of eighteenth century buildings inBrighton and Hove.[2] The two-storey house was built out of brick andflint, and contains five bays.[3] Originally, the house had adjacent stables, which were converted into a house in the twentieth century; that building is now aGrade II listed building.[1][2][4] In 1906, the house is recorded as being owned by a Major Howard Vyse Welch, who was a judge at that year's Sussex County Show, and fought in theEast Surrey Regiment during theFirst World War.[5][6][7] The house was later owned by a man named Eric Poore, who died in 1953; at the time, the estate was valued at £30,104.[8] The house became aGrade II* listed building in 1952, and a late nineteenth or early twentieth century lamppost outside the property was listed as a Grade II listed building in 1999.[9][10]
