This redbrick house was built for Frederic Lord Leighton, with the help of his friends; he designed it himself, and then lived here until his death in 1896.

The main room is the Arab Hall, which has a large centrepiece featuring a dome from Damascus.

The collection from Cairo consists of 15th and 16th century Islamic tiles, which are very rare, along with window screens.

Throughout the other rooms you can see a collection of other fine art that Lord Leighton collected along with Sir Casper Purdon Clarke and Sir Richard Burton.
