About

Red House, a striking example of the Arts and Crafts movement, was designed by Philip Webb and inhabited by William and Jane Morris. The house’s bold, red brick façade, steep hipped roof and original furnishings provide a vivid glimpse into the life and creative output of one of Britain’s most important designers. Adjacent is a meticulously tended garden, featuring an apple orchard, rose arch and a “Garden Snug” that echoes Morris’s love of nature. Guided tours are available by pre‑booking, taking visitors on a walk through the house’s rooms, murals and workshop spaces, and around the tranquil grounds. With its rich artistic heritage and carefully preserved interiors, Red House offers an intimate encounter with the origins of the Arts and Crafts movement and a peaceful escape in the London suburbs.
