It is a major omission for a house by an architect of such internation renown as Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott to have been omitted from the National Heritage List especially when it was identified in a revised Pevsner volume published over 10 years ago.
Over 50 of his houses are listed including one at Grade I and several at Grade II*. Scott designed in a variety of styles including Arts and Crafts, Tudor and Neo Georgian.
Pevsner describes this property thus: 1913-14. Extended in 1920. A weekend cottage for Sir Boverton Redwood, a petroleum chemist, a successful essay in the Sussex vernacular and one of picturesque accretive appearance. The garden front has a Wealden recess with exposed timber frame to the upper floor. Cobbles with brick dressings to the bay on the left, tile hung to the right. Informal entrance elevation of painted brick with a large external chimney stack. The interior has the familiar inglenook and settle.
