A fascinating and architecturally significant detached property with a particularly attractive garden of approximately a 3rd acre.
Garden Ground is an architecturally significant detached property which was constructed in the early 1950s and designed by the renowned architect, Robert Townsend, as a family home whilst incorporating a consulting room and dispensary for his general practitioner wife. It is Grade II listed being of historical and architectural interest as it is one of the earliest explorations in England of the architectural principles of Frank Lloyd Wright with the building demonstrating sophistication of architectural composition, ingenuity in planning and services, good use of materials and detailing and overall integrity of design at a time when for the great majority of new dwellings architectural flare and innovation were secondary to the essential utilitarian provision of domestic accommodation for a displaced and growing population. Garden Ground is significant not only for its architectural innovation, but also for the fact that it was built to such a high standard in the first decade after the Second World War when severe constraints on the availability of building materials for private domestic dwellings were in place.
