Kingsdown House

At the top of Doctor's Hill, Kingsdown House is a three-storey ashlar house from the early 18th century; its formal front with parapet and corner urns was embellished in the 19th century with a Corinthian porch and a roof-height clock.[1] There was a private asylum here from the 17th century to the mid-20th,[2] latterly called Kingsdown Nursing Home.[3] The house and its adjacent 19th-century buildings are now in residential use.[4][5]

A Methodist chapel was built in 1869 and rebuilt in 1926. By 2003 it was a private house.[6]

There is a pub, the Swan Inn. Kingsdown Golf Course is on higher ground to the east of the hamlet.
