Four Trees is an art deco style house in Long Sutton. It was designed by Norman Webster, from an original plan by R.A.C. Churchward for the Coalectric Estate Development Company. The design and construction of the house was commissioned by an agricultural family from Long Sutton after they visited the Ideal Home Exhibition Olympia in 1934. The house was designed to be a family home, but also had space that allowed for the running of the family business. This business space was separated from the living quarters to restrict visiting business partners and colleagues to the office space. The house has many architectural features typical to the late Art Deco period, includings curved glazing, original railings, a tall tower on the main façade with a full-height angular window, an entrance porch with canopy, a balcony for the main bedroom, and a roof terrace. It is a two storey building, with kitchen, dining room, sitting room, and louge on the ground floor, and 3 bedrooms and a balcony on the first floor, plus the rooftop terrace. It is constructed out of unrendered brick, which is atypical of modernism, and is therefore an interesting construction choice. This house has been recognised as one of the best examples of modern house design in the county, and is thought to be one of only two art deco houses in Lincolnshire. {1}{2} Four Trees was originally built to an L-shaped plan form, consisting of a main south-east range and a much narrower north-west range which was the garage. The original design incorporated many Art Deco features, including a curved driveway, Crittall windows, shaded front door, bedroom balcony and a roof garden. The design took into account the position of the sun throughout the day, so that sunlight would fall into the kitchen in the morning for breakfast, the dining room for lunchtime and into the sitting room for tea. Significant alterations were made in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with the construction of a large extension in the angle between the two former ranges, and extensive internal remodelling and alterations, including the replacement of the original Crittal windows with uPVC. The building was assessed by Historic England in May 2021, but it was decided that the criteria for listing was not met in this instance, as it was thought to be too altered from its original design, with the addition of the large extension and the loss of many of the original historic fixtures and fittings. {3}{4}
