Luxford House, Grade II listed country house in Crowborough, England
The 16th-century timber-framed structure includes three hipped dormers, an attic floor, and traditional plaster infilling across two main levels.
Sir Hugh Beaver, founder of the Guinness Book of Records, acquired the property in the 1930s and carried out substantial renovations to the building.
During the early 1970s, the house became a creative space where Genesis composed their album 'Nursery Cryme' and other musicians recorded their works.
The building maintains its private residential status while representing architectural heritage under the protection of Grade II listing regulations.
The library of Luxford House served as a recording studio for folk musician Bert Jansch's 1974 album 'L.A. Turnaround' and its promotional video.
