Orchards, Arts and Crafts house in Bramley, England

The house structure incorporates Bargate stone with red tiles and brick, organized around a central square courtyard with functional spaces and working areas.

William and Julia Chance commissioned architect Edwin Lutyens to design Orchards between 1897 and 1899, after rejecting initial plans from Halsey Ricardo.

The dining room contains fireplaces crafted by Julia Chance, featuring ceramic tiles and oak staircases modeled after seventeenth-century architectural styles.

The property spans 26 acres of land, combining formal garden sections with natural woodlands connected by a rampart walk offering long-distance views.

A Grade II-listed fountain in the Dutch garden displays a lion mask water spout designed by Julia Chance, who later created sculptures for other Lutyens projects.
