The Dormy House
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 9 Oct 2020
House off Deans Lane, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1906 and built by Godson and Sons of Kilburn. It was commissioned by the owners of Walton Heath Golf Club, who included George Riddell (later Baron Riddell of Walton Heath), managing director of the News of the World, to provide overnight accommodation to golfers. It has since converted into apartments and in doing so has been much altered, with the removal of the chimneys and the addition of further dormers in the roof, and so is on longer recognisable as a Lutyens house. This is the building as seen from Greenways, a cul-de-sac developed in part of the grounds of the house (see Image).
