White Lodge On-The-Cliff, Brighton, East Sussex, England

The garden is now mostly laid to lawn with euonymus hedges replacing the original yew plantings. However the sunken garden, the most important aspect of Lutyens' original design, has survived. This consists of two areas sunk at either side of a central platform. These are paved with stone slabs inset with circular patterns of slate on edge. Steps lead up to the platform which is patterned with diamond shapes in slate. A dry-stone wall bounds the whole feature but probably this has been re-built over time.
