The ‘Dutch House’ in Brookvale Road

“The Dutch House in Brookvale Road, Portswood is Grade II listed and was built around 1909-10 by R.M. McDonald Lucas in the Domestic Revival/Dutch style. The house was built, along with No.124 Highfield Lane, as the two initial houses on The Portswood Estate, and intended to set the standard for the design of houses that were to follow on this ‘Garden City’ of estate houses each with its own garden backing on to a communal garden.”
