It was enlarged during the nineteenth century, with the core part of the building in place by the beginning of the twentieth century. Flat roof extensions were added in the second half of the twentieth century. The residential property was converted into an old peoples home in 1967. | Based on map evidence, part at least of the building appears to be pre-1805.

Hastings Road is the original route between Hastings and Bexhill until the construction of the more direct De La Warr Road in the 1900s. Unlike the rest of Hastings Road, this section is narrow and lane-like. The building, together with East and West lodges, trees and flint boundary walls, helps to define its character. Indeed Dorset Lodge is referred to in the 1975 Old Town Conservation Area Appraisal as helping to define the north eastern entrance to De La Warr Road. | Hastings Road is the original route between Hastings and Bexhill until the construction of the more direct De La Warr Road in the 1900s.
