Lutyens Surrey Property
The first recognised house designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, a privilege and a profound responsibility, carefully extended and restored in Bath stone with disciplined traditional craft.
Project Details
This property is the first recognised house designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Working on such a project was both a privilege and a profound responsibility.
Works involved the careful dismantling and rebuilding of sections of the existing house and garden walls, plus a new extension housing a swimming pool with a striking 18-light gable window.
Lutyens Grade II Listed Property
Precision Stone Craft
and Technical Innovation
The defining feature of the new extension was the 18-light gable window, with its full-height central mullion and corner posts forming a bold yet sympathetic architectural statement. The extension respects Lutyens original design language while incorporating discreet modern performance enhancements.
All new stone elements, including jambs, mullions, and transoms, were detailed to replicate the original design while discreetly incorporating modern insulation and structural improvements.
Traditional Craft
Batted Finish,
Tooled Margins
Particular attention was paid to the batted finish and tooled margins on every dressed piece of Bath stone, internally and externally, faithfully following the language of the original craftsmanship.
The result demonstrates the highest level of stonemasonry skill, where traditional craft meets technical precision, and where new work is indistinguishable from original.
In addition to the new gable feature, eight further windows were crafted and installed, alongside extensive repairs to existing architectural stonework.

Preserving a Legacy
Award-Worthy
Craftsmanship
An extraordinary heritage commission, working on the first recognised Lutyens house required AFJONES to match not just the material but the spirit of the original stonework.
The combination of heritage conservation knowledge, traditional craft skill and modern technical engineering made this project a demonstration of AFJONES complete capability across all four areas of expertise.
To work on the first recognised Lutyens house is both a privilege and a responsibility — every stone placed with the full weight of that history.
AFJONES delivered new extension stonework, heritage repairs and eight bespoke windows, each faithful to the original Lutyens language while meeting the demands of a contemporary client.
