RED House - William Morris and Webb

The Red House near Orpington is where William Morris Lived for 5 years
This is why Jennifer wanted to go
To me it was the house Philip Webb Built and Designed.
It took the design of mansions from the square blocks to the home we have today.

We arrived to a boring entrance but once in from around the Brick Wall

You are greeted by this house

The gardens were blooming for spring and were very fresh

Inside not much of the Furniture exist anymore.
The Morris family only lived here for 6 years. 

At the Time the views would have been Kent orchards

They still had some stencils that had been loaned from the Morris trust.

But it was the architecture of the place.

Rounded Archways in a small home

Multiple levels to displaying the grandeur of the place. 

The ceilings all still painted by Morris in the dot pattern 

Hall ways that let in the light.

As for outside, the well was the central feature

But it was the house, built for the light into the house.

The Gardens were a family garden.

Spring was out for us.
