The property was lived in as a family home for nearly 150 years, during which time many changes took place. The Trust opened Red House soon after its acquisition in 2003 so that visitors could see the property as it was when first acquired, and follow its journey as research reveals the house and garden which Morris and Webb originally created. No WC
