Goddards, Arts and Crafts country house in Abinger Common, Surrey, England
The residence features symmetrical wings connected by a central room, with prominent chimneys rising from rough-cast stone walls and clay-tiled roofs.
Frederick Mirrielees commissioned Edwin Lutyens to design this building in 1898 as a rest home for women of limited means working as nurses and governesses.
The house integrates local materials such as Horsham stone tiles, oak timber, and traditional Surrey construction methods throughout its architectural design.
The Landmark Trust manages the property for holiday rentals, accommodating twelve guests with access to a kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and extensive grounds.
The property contains a preserved skittle alley from 1900, serving as a recreational feature alongside the Gertrude Jekyll designed courtyard garden.
