Among them is Grade II Listed Forest House in Colemans Hatch, East Sussex, which was redesigned by Lutyens from its origins as an 18th-century Sussex farmhouse. 

For sale with Chesterton Humberts (01342 326326/ chestertonhumberts.com), it has seven bedrooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with a separate dining room and two reception rooms, plus a separate three-bedroom cottage, swimming pool, stables and paddocks in nearly 11 acres of grounds, which is why it is for sale at £2million. 

Lutyens specialised in using traditional building methods and creating vernacular designs that fitted in with the locality. 

He was among the most famous Arts and Crafts architects and Britain is blessed with some dazzling examples of the style, such as Four Winds in Bretby, Derbyshire, on sale at £895,000 with Humberts (0115 950 5444/humberts.com). 

Four Winds has seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with a laundry, pantry and boot room, plus two reception rooms, a large hall and cellar. With three acres it also has a greenhouse, double garage and other outbuildings.

So popular is the Arts and Crafts philosophy of drawing on the beauty of natural surroundings that developers are still keen on the style today.
