Special Interest
The house is the largest in East Brighton Crescent and was built for the colonel of the army. It first appears on maps in 1856 (Sutter's map), along with its neighbours No 9-10 and Nos 7-8. At the turn of the 20th century the house was converted into a convent and it was only returned to domestic use in 1986.
