Reginald Fairfax Wells was a well known London based architect who, in the 1920s and 1930s, designed and built about two hundred homes across Kent and Sussex. Seventy or so of these unique 'Wells Cottages' were built in West Chiltington, all standing within good sized plots and in the style of 17th Century properties, with thatched roofs, exposed wall and ceiling beams, quirky-shaped rooms and interesting windows.
