Lord'S Wood

Lord's Wood is a house built between 1899 and 1900 for Mrs. Mary Sargant-Florence, an artist, and constructed by Streatfield. The building is designed in the Queen Anne style and features red brick with wooden eaves supported by shaped brackets, a hipped roof made of Westmorland slate, and brick chimneys. It is a double pile structure with two storeys and an attic, comprising five bays, with the outer bays slightly advanced.

Architectural details include a moulded band course at the first floor, plain brick pilasters, and barred metal casements. Each window light has two opening half-lights and curved metal stays. The outer bays contain three-light casements, while the inner bays have two-light casements. The ground floor windows have gauged brick heads with offset keyblocks. The centre bay features an Ipswich window on the first floor, complete with pilaster jambs, an architrave, a keyblock, and a panelled door set in a hipped porch with fluted pilasters and arched niches. There are also two flat-roofed three-light dormers.

The right end of the house has a continuous row of lights on the first floor, while the left end consists of two bays with bow windows on the ground floor, glazed doors above in the Ipswich window style, and a first-floor balcony with wooden railings. Although the interior has been altered, it was originally designed with bare brick walls, no doors, and no plumbing. Lord's Wood was later home to Alix and James Strachey, the brother of Lytton Strachey, who translated the complete works of Sigmund Freud.
