BRITISH DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE
pleted, and the accessories and requirements of modern life introduced
without detriment to its architectural and historic past.
The drawing on page 44 shows theEntrance Lodge at “LittleBoarhunt,”
Liphook, the residence of the architect, Mr. Inigo Triggs. One side
is a gardener’s quarters, and the other forms a garage. On the first floor
are three bedrooms. The roof and tile-hanging are of old tiles, and old
oak beams have been used in the half-timber construction. This pictur-
esque cottage suggests the old traditional type, now fast disappearing
from Hampshire and Sussex.
The house near Haslemere (p. 45) is built of red brick, with Doulting
stone mullions and other dressings, the brickwork being relieved with
patterns of dark headers. The roof is of tiles, while the chimney-stacks
vary in design throughout the building, and are all of specially moulded
bricks. The principal front, shown here, has a southern aspect, the
gardens, forecourt, and stable buildings being on the opposite side.
On pages 46 and 47 are illustrated two views of a house at Hill Brow.
The walls are of local Bargate stone, left rough from the hammer, and
the roof is covered with old tiles. Several of the gables are constructed
of solid teak beams, filled in with small Bargate stone, an old tradition
not often resorted to in these days. The teak is allowed to go a silvery-
grey, harmonizing with the greenish-yellow tones of the Bargate stone.
The house is beautifully situated upon a spur of Hill Brow, overlooking
the South Downs.
The Rectory, Petersfield (p. 48), is built of grey-blue bricks, specially
burnt, and relieved with brighter red bricks in panels. This Georgian
type of building was chosen to harmonize with the old houses in the
immediate neighbourhood, and to be in keeping with the local tradition
of an old Hampshire town. In planning the house it was thought ad-
visable to provide a separate approach for parishioners wishing to inter-
view the Rector. On the ground floor there are three reception-rooms,
and the two floors above contain eight bedrooms.
The house at Fulmer, Bucks., of which we show an illustration in
colours on page 49, has recently been completed. The roofs are of old
stone slates from Gloucestershire, and the half-timber work throughout
is of old oak, several of the principal bedrooms having open timber roofs,
thus taking the space of two stories. Extensive stabling and garage
buildings are planned on the north side of the house. There are five re-
ception-rooms and a large ballroom, with minstrel gallery, on the ground
floor. Many of the principal rooms are panelled in oak, with finely
modelled plaster ceilings by Mr. George P. Bankart. The aim of the
architects has been to produce a home having the traditional qualities
of our national domestic architecture, and yet lacking none of the con-
veniences demanded at the present day.
