Pelham House, Grade II listed building in Lewes, England
The red-brick Pelham House stands on St Andrews Lane with a symmetrical seven-bay frontage and a central doorway featuring a decorative fanlight.
Built in 1579 for George Goring, a member of parliament, the house later became the property of Sir Thomas Pelham in 1653 and served as East Sussex County Council headquarters from 1938 to 1968.
The building reflects the architectural evolution of English country houses, combining Tudor foundations with classical Georgian modifications from the mid-18th century.
The converted hotel provides 29 bedrooms with ensuite facilities and can accommodate up to 150 seated guests for events and celebrations.
The grounds feature a three-tiered slope that was used as a Home Guard rifle range during World War II.
