Crown House, Grade II* listed residence in St Leonards-on-Sea, England

Crown House stands on the seafront with a symmetrical three-bay façade, painted stucco walls, and fluted Ionic columns supporting a cornice at 57 The Marina.

Completed in 1828 as the first building in St Leonards-on-Sea, Crown House served as the residence of architect and developer James Burton who designed the seaside resort.

The Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria's winter stay at Crown House in 1834-35 elevated the social status of St Leonards-on-Sea among English coastal destinations.

Located within a conservation area of Hastings Borough Council, Crown House maintains its residential character while adhering to strict preservation regulations for listed buildings.

After surviving World War II damage and narrowly escaping demolition, the building transformed from a social club and pub before returning to residential use in 2013.
