 After being made habitable , the two families divided the house between them , with separate living rooms , bedrooms , bathrooms , and kitchens . Corridors , stairs , and the old kitchen ( which they termed the " Eating Room " ) were shared communally . As a result of their leftist activism , they allowed meetings of both the British @-@ Soviet Friendship Society , and the CPGB to take place in the house . They also permitted members of the Woodcraft Folk to camp in its grounds . In 1953 , the inaugural meeting of the William Morris Society took place at the house , at which 45 people were present . In 1954 , a third architect , David Gregory Jones , moved in to the two rooms adjoining the downstairs gallery .
