Good work! One of my favourite things after riding on the Downs to the east of Brighton is to head towards Brighton along the top of Woodingdean, pop over the road near the top of Wilson Avenue, and then go down the side of Sheepcote Valley. My friend @errm_rich put me on to this route; it used to be part of his commute in to work some days. (There's a couple of enormous wooden chairs you can sit in/on, and take in the view.) At the bottom of the Valley is this park with terraced green lawns (to the south of your picture) and this weird house stuck in the middle of nowhere. It always struck me as interesting and incongruous.
I know that route and the chairs, it's a beautiful part of the downs. The path that goes behind Woodingdean and into Rottingdean is highly recommended.
I live in Hanover and run the South Downs around there regularly. I really should have worked out where this was sooner!
