These houses, first shown at the Kensington Dolls House Show in 2019, are based on the distinct architecture of the Surrey Hills area where I live.

 

Some features, such as the fully tile-hung first floors, can be found in the next-door counties of Kent and West Sussex. However,  combined with the brick trimmed rubble or clunch-walled ground floors - and of course the prominent  chimneys - the overall style is quite unique. Quite why the chimneys are so featured hereabout is a bit of a mystery but it may be because tall chimneys are needed to reach moving air above Surrey's very extensive woodland: or perhaps it was just fashion at the time.

​

This house has interior fittings and decoration appropriate for the late-Victorian to Great War period so has plug sockets in each room as these would have been making an appearance in some houses at that time.

​

The woodwork of the windows would likely have been painted an estate colour, pale green near here, but again I thought the natural cherry colour appealing.

​

Two of these houses are currently available and I have no plans to build more as I want to explore other architectural types with future projects. The houses are more or less identical and are unfurnished.

​

They measure 32 inches across the front, are 17 inches deep and rise 31 inches to the roof ridge and 39 inches to the chimney tops. (810 x 430 x 715mm).

​

Price: £4,500 each. Well-intentioned offers will be considered.

​

Viewings most welcome.
