House at
Bellagio
for W. Allport.
Dr Peter King notes, that
Bellagio in Surrey was a new estate being developed at the time in the
Surrey village of
Dormansland by the architect
Robert Alexander Briggs, and was named
after the Italian town. The village, just north of East Grinstead, later
reverted to its original name. (Dr Peter King,
'Voysey and The British Architect', in The Orchard, Number
Nine, Autmn 2020, p.101)
This half-timber cottage is planned to suit an artist and the high oriel at the angle of the studio forms an agreeable feature of the exterior. (The British Architect, 10th June 1898)
