Red House Lane, BEXLEYHEATH, DA6 8JD

Situated in Red House Lane, Bexleyheath, DA6 8JF, this house was built in 1859 by architect, Philip Webb for his friend, William Morris, artist, craftsman and socialist who lived in it from 1860 to 1865. Originally surrounded by orchards and countryside, Red House is now in suburbia. The house and gardens were acquired by The National Trust in 2003, and are now opened to the public on certain days during the week.

The Red House was designed by Philip Webb and was the home of William Morris from 1860 - 1865. It was the only house designed for him. Two of his children were born here and there were lots of riotous parties by all accounts. The garden, like the house, was designed in the Arts and Crafts style. William Morris wanted the garden to be part of the house, through the use of a series of so-called "garden rooms". The house is now owned by the National Trust.
