It was use for a short time the treatment of casualtys of the great war.
After which it was then sold and eventually became the Lillesden School
In 1976 and became the Lower Bedgebury School.
Which closed in 1999.
planning permission has been approved to convert the main grade two listed building.
Date Received: 10 July 2007
Proposal: Change of use and alterations to Lillesden House to 14 residential apartments with new residential development of 15 apartments and 11 houses, associated car parking and access;with demolition of former ancillary school buildings.

But due to water damage resulting from theft of the the lead from the roof
costs have soared and placed the development on hold for now.
A true picture of the place now is the all the upper floors are rotten to the core and the place pretty well trashed with a liberal covering of graffiti
Dr Who series The Curse of Fenric was filmed here.
