Little Holland House, Carshalton, London
Details
Accessibility
Wheelchair access: the building has an exterior front step, but the ground floor interior is all on one level. We regret there are no disabled toilet facilities. Due to the fragile nature of the interior at the moment we are unable to welcome children’s buggies.
Unfortunately, due to the delicate nature of Little Holland House’s building and objects, we are unable to allow dogs entry onto the premises with the exception of service dogs.
Brief description
"Visit the former home of Frank R. Dickinson (1874-1961), artist, designer and craftsman, who built his house in the English Arts and Crafts style between 1902-4, following the teachings and philosophies of William Morris and John Ruskin. The result is a unique blend of traditional and Art Nouveau, which has featured in several recent television series on architectural history. Inside the Grade II Listed building are his hand-made furniture, paintings, interior decoration, carvings and metalwork, which still inspire visitors today. With very limited financial resources Dickinson actually built the house and its furniture himself – the ultimate in D.I.Y."
