The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The design by Edgar Wood is considered groundbreaking and a forerunner to Modernist architecture, Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as a "pioneer work and worthy of any book dealing with the pioneers of the C20 style internationally." The double-depth house is in red brick and ashlar stone, with two storeys and attics, under a flat concrete roof.
- It features a concave recessed central section to the entrance front, emphasised by a full-height stone band, the garden front also has a recessed central section with a stone band but lacking the curved profile.
- The interior has groin-vaulted hallways, and there are marble fireplaces, wood panelling and moulded plaster ceilings and friezes.
