HOUSE AT ENFIELD, MIDDLESEX

HART AND WATERHOUSE, ARCHITECTS

Enfield is on the west side
of the Ridgeway overlooking
a valley and rising ground

brown Portland stone and
the walls are covered with
a warm-coloured plaster.

graduated in width. The
view shows the garden front,

rooms are situated. Behind
a loggia is the inner hall,

for occasional residence only.
