I must have visited this place 3 or 4 times in the past few years but have always chickened out at the last minute, mainly due to the resident dog.

However after the urbex bus had visited I got an extra boost of confidence and went for it. All in all a pretty relaxed early morning explore. I find it hard to believe that in such a well to do area of the south east a use cannot be found for this place. Plans found in the sports hall seem to suggest the impending construction of an housing estate, albeit an well to do housing estate.

The boarding school for girls was opened c 1930. Its numbers grew and other large houses were acquired to house the girls. In the 1980's the Legat Ballet School joined the establishment and in the early 1990's the college was amalgamated with a School from Seaford. In 1997 it had a further changes and is at present known as Bellboys.

I really struggled with the light in this place and have fiddled a fair bit with the piccies.

Great report & pics, I had the pleasure of visiting here recently and loved it. Also managed to get the clock ticking again. The dog thought we were lunch. We ran, he stayed. We didn't get eaten. Result.

Once I got in I found the front door was wide open in to the area where the dog lives, I must admit I had a bit of a panic but it was uneventful in the end. Phew!
