DESCRIPTION
Findon is a substantial detached residence of enormous character standing in a prominent position within walking distance of the town centre. The house was built in approximately 1904 and was designed by M H Baillie Scott, one of the leading figures of the Arts and Crafts movement. Findon is a truly remarkable example of the era and has remained largely unspoilt in essence whilst now benefitting from all of the appointments that modern lifestyles require.
The house is extremely elegant both externally and internally with a character that is unrivalled within the town. The house is framed with solid timbers with a plain, hipped roof with beautifully laid out grounds to both the front and rear. There is much fine pegged woodwork internally and the house has been well cared for and is tastefully and sympathetically decorated throughout with some charming original doors with typical period latches.
