Red House in the heart of Bexley was designed for Victorian artist, designer and poet William Morris by his architect friend Philip Webb in 1860.

The house was designed in the Victorian Gothic style to reflect Morris's love of medieval architecture and craftsmanship.

Morris moved into the house after his marriage to Jane Burden and it was the couple's home for five years.

Now belonging to the National Trust, visitors can see the property, which retains much of the original decor and furniture designed by Morris and Webb.

Opening details: Visits to Red House are by pre-booked, guided tours only. The house and garden are open from 11am to 5pm, Wednesday to Sunday, all year round
