Grade II listed Fitzroy House is one of Lewes' most notable and iconic properties. Built in 1862 as a memorial to Henry Fitzroy, MP for Lewes for 24 years, it was commissioned by his wife Hannah (nee Rothschild) and designed by architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, best known for the Albert Memorial and The St Pancras Hotel. Internally, there is the extraordinary Fitzroy Octagonal Room with a domed glass roof, surrounded by an exceptional wood constructed minstrel gallery with 6 feature windows below, 5 of them with the original shutters, and 6 circular windows above, currently used as an event and exhibition space. The entrance hall has the original tiled floor, classic gothic arches, stone pillars with a shaped turquoise ceiling and a stairway with cast iron balustrades and wooden handrail.

The Southover Building dates from the early 1900s along with various later additions and currently forms part of the Lewes campus of the East Sussex College. Until recently, the property was in academic use by the College but has now been assessed as surplus to operational needs. The disposal forms part of a wider estates strategy that will see significant reinvestment into the remainder of the College’s Lewes campus, which is located on the other side of Mountfield Road. As well as the existing built form, the site includes hardstanding/car parking and significant area of landscaping to the southern boundary.
