Today Behind The Privet takes a look at a classic Southampton "summer cottage" designed and built in 1887 as the personal residence of architect Robert Henderson Robertson. Wyndecote is known as one of the first residences that led to the transformation of Southampton from a sleepy village into a destination resort community. Robertson was a respected architect who also designed the Southampton Rogers Memorial library in 1892 and the Southampton Hospital in 1911 along with his son T. Markoe Robertson. Looking at the black and white photo of the home when it was originally built, (see the horse and buggy), it's amazing that 8 bedroom home has retained all of the 19th century details that make this home so special today. My favorite design element of this quintessential summer cottage is the stunning arcade porch which would be the perfect spot for entertaning guests or taking an afternoon nap after a day at the beach.

You always post the prettiest house tours! Once again, I am in awe at this beauty.
Delightful. You're right, it is amazing the original details have survived. Kudos to all the owners who left it alone.
A morning swim, stroll on the beach then a book and nap on that fabulous porch - yes, I'm imagining myself there for sure :)

What an interesting choice for behind the privet. Some important facts. The duke and dutchess of Windsor were guest at the house in the 60's making the host and hostess of Wyndecote very socially important. The last time the house sold in the late 90's it went for about 2 million bucks, a steal compared to today. Finally, all of the owners have keep the house intact, no macmansion here. Thanks for reminding me of one of my southampton favorites.
OH MY GOODNESS! It IS all in the detail, isn't it? HA Thanks so much for sharing - I love this home. ENjoy your day. Jalon

Can we all go in together and rent it for the summer?!!
I am in awe how they have kept the original design elements of the house from 1911 and yet it feels so fresh and modern day.
