Red House
Red House is an Arts and Crafts house in Bexleyheath, southeast London, co-designed in 1859 by Philip Webb and William Morris as Morris's family home. Built in 1859–60, the L-shaped red-brick building integrates medieval-inspired neo-Gothic forms with handcrafted interiors and a closely planned garden. The National Trust now owns and conserves the property as a visitor attraction.

As it stood in 1862
What Red House looked like in its prime.
L-shaped two-storey house of warm red brick with steep red-tile roofs, tall brick chimneys and varied window types (tall casements, round "bull's-eye" windows and dormers). Arched brick openings and recessed bays punctuate the façades; ivy and roses climb the walls. In the sheltered rear garden stands a small circular brick well with a timber frame and high conical tiled roof. Interiors are plastered and painted in tempera, with oak furniture, stained glass and painted murals.
