House. 1899 by Maurice Beveridge Teulon, architect, for himself. Ragstone rubble
with cut stone dressings, tiled roof. Two storeys on "Y" plan. Neo C17 vernacular
style with some neo-Baroque and C18 references. Entrance front of two canted wings
has two ground-floor cross windows, two first-floor right hand and one left hand
casement, one casement on angle of the "Y", all wooden framed with square leaded
panes. Central entrance porch formed by stone segmental arch across angle of
the two wings with dependent swags and flowers, stone roof. Arched door with
arched side lights and overlights, all stone framed. 2-leaf door with carved
colonnettes, swags and metal door furniture. Cut stone bands at window cill
and lintel level. Wooden plank eaves, hipped gable, one end gable and two ridge
stacks. Garden front has two outer 3-side canted stone framed bow cross windows,
the transoms forming arches. Third face of "Y" plan has single storey lean-to

The work of the son of the leading High Victorian architect S. S. Teulon, showing
the same freedom and somewhat tongue-in-cheek approach which earned his father
the C20 soubriquet of "Rogue" architect. M. B. Teulon practiced as an architect
in Crowborough according to Kelly's Sussex (1887) p. 2232.
