Little Munstead

Little Munstead is a house built between 1896 and 1898 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. The left range features snecked Bargate stone, while the ground floor of the right-hand range is also made of this stone, with whitewashed roughcast above. The house has plain tiled roofs, with end gablets and a half-hipped roof that is tile-hung on the left side. It has an L-shaped plan and is one storey with an attic, which includes a hip-roofed leaded dormer on the left and a gabled dormer at the re-entrant angle of the two ranges.

There is an offset ridge stack on the left range and a large corbelled triple stack with a diagonally placed central shaft at the rear of the right wing. The first floor on the right end features a five-light leaded window, while the ground floor has a flat-roofed leaded square bay window set on a sandstone plinth. A four-light leaded window is located in the re-entrant angle of the left range, and another four-light leaded window with a cambered head is on the left side. The first floor on the right juts out on brackets over a tile-on-edge band.

A half-glazed door is situated in the angle of the right wing, topped by a tile-on-edge lintel. There is a lower hip-roofed wing at right angles to the rear of the left range, connecting to a sandstone block rubble garden wall with a tile-on-edge top and D-section coping, approximately 7 feet high, which returns to the street. The gate has curved end walls, and there is a pentice extension at the rear of the right wing.
