[Sussex] Old photo - anyone recognise?

First-time poster, long-time lurker. Apologies!

My mum has found this old photo but has no idea where it's from. It looks local but there isn't much to go on. The big building in the centre is quite unique though so thought some of the wise, old sages of nsc might be able to help!

Any ideas?

Patcham Farm, below Ladies Mile Road ?

Is it the Adams family house or Herman Munster's

Welcome to NSC, long overdue if I may say so.

It sort of looks like a view towards Rottingdean from Woodingdean, the last field possibly being Rottingdean's cricket ground. Sort of.

It's the former Rottingdean Prep School which was damaged by fire in the early 1960s then demolished. a small estate called The Rotyngs was built in its place.

This view looks east, the field in the foreground to the left is I think Rottingdean Recreation Ground whlst the houses beyond are in Bazehill Road.

See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume32/source/jg_32_149.htm for the same building taken at a different angle.

This one from Google settles it once and for all. It's from a similar angle and you can see the same houses in the background
