Standen

Standen is an Arts and Crafts house located to the south of East Grinstead, West Sussex, England.

[1] Between 1891 and 1894 architect Philip Webb, who was a friend of William Morris, designed the house for a prosperous London solicitor, James Beale, his wife Margaret, and their family of seven children.

The house is constructed in the Wealden vernacular style with sandstone quarried from the estate and locally made bricks and tiles.

[2] The house still has its original electric light fittings, designed by William Arthur Smith Benson.

[citation needed] The National Trust acquired Standen Wood, originally part of the larger estate at the property, in 2001.
