Edgeworth House
Although this four-bay timber-framed hall house lies within Gatwick Airport's boundary, surrounded by offices and a new hotel, its interior is well preserved: old timbers and open fireplaces remain. The roof has original tiles, and the exterior is partly brick and partly tile-hung. It adjoins Wing House, and dates from either the 15th century or c. 1520.
Wing House
Until about 2006, this mid-16th-century structure functioned as the restaurant and bar of an airport staff social club, but it is now disused. Charlwood stone forms the base; above this is brickwork and timber-framing, topped by a tiled roof with some Horsham stonework. The interior has four bays. The purlins of the interior roof structure are smoke-blackened.
