How Green House is an architecturally important Arts and Crafts Movement style country house near Hever in the Sevenoaks District of Kent. It was designed by Scottish architect Robert Weir Schultz.
The wealth created by the 19th century industrial society lead to a widespread market for the ‘grand’ country house. Owners, anxious to impress, encouraged their architects to produce exuberant and often vulgar designs based on a myriad of styles, over-ornamented French Renaissance, Venetian and Gothic predominating. There were some who reacted against the prevailing trend. William Morris and architect Philip Webb looked back to an age before the machine and founded the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Progressive architects formed an alternative approach to design and Norman Shaw was one of the leading exponents. He created Bedford Park, an Arcadian suburb in west London, and many successful country houses in the new style, of which ‘Cragside’ for the rich armament manufacturer A W Armstrong is the apogee.
