Lord Holland originally intended the building of circa 1750 to be occupied by Anglican
nuns but they never came. The building which had 5 cells around a cloister was
given to several poor and industrious families who were retainers of the Hollands.
Rooms were also used to house the overflow of guests from Holland House. However
by 1831 the convent had been rebuilt. It received the name "Port Regis" from King's
Gate which was re-erected in the grounds of the Convent.
Early to mid C19. 2 storeys flint-faced with stone quoins and dressings. Crenellated
parapet. Doorcase set in an archway with quatrefoil motifs. One 3-light mullioned
window flanked by battlemented turrets.
The garden elevation is of 2 storeys knapped flint with stone dressings. To the
left are two 3-light canted bays, battemented with an archway between them. Mullioned
or mullioned and transomed windows. To the right is a portion of 2 storeys crenellated
with 5 mullioned windows built on the lines of the original building which had
5 cells. Buttresses. Arched colonnade on ground floor. To the right of this are
extensions of 1870 and later.
