Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In January 2016 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording (Historic England Level 2) of Bassets House, Starts Hill Road, London Borough of Bromley, London, BR6 7AR (Figure 1; NGR 544230 127632). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of London Square. Bassets House is a locally listed 'L' shaped Arts and Crafts building designed by Maurice Webb, built in 1911.The property was constructed as a residence for Arthur Neville Lubbock, before being used for a short period as a boy's preparatory school, and eventually the Headquarters of Bromley Primary Care Trust. The work was carried out to satisfy conditions placed on planning consent by London Borough of Bromley (planning ref. DC/15/04941/FULL3). Despite having seen over 100 years of use Bassets House retained much of its internal décor and layout as well as retaining to a great extent its external appearance. TThe building was clearly decced in style, well constructed, with attention to detail and craftsmanship typical of the Arts and Crafts movement. The external detailing and form is also typical of the style, and survives well as a late example of the movement. The form of the building is also of interest for the use of emerging technologies being used in conjunction with traditional craftsmanship and materials to create a modern, yet seemingly olde, structure reminiscent of tudor and gothic great houses. The loss of the building's original setting is unfortunate, having been designed as a country house, with gardens to the south, and an enclosed courtyard to its north. However, the building stands as a monument to the evolving face of Bromley, having been incorporated into the development and suburbanisation of the area and adapted in turn. The structure also has value and interest as an early example of a solo work by Maurice Webb, son of Sir Aston Webb.
