For sale: 1970s architect-designed four-bedroom house in Darley Dale, Matlock, Derbyshire
Not the most stunning house you might see from the outside (although not a bad looking place in truth), this 1970s architect-designed four-bedroom house in Darley Dale, Matlock, Derbyshire really come to life inside – where it remains largely unchanged from that original era.
Yes, the fittings and decoration of this place are straight out of a mid to late '70s design book. Which is probably when the house dates from. The kitchen is almost a museum piece, as is the stunning wood-clad living room and double-level conservatory. Throw in a picturesque location in the Peak District and you've got something really special.
For sale: 1960s L R Barlow-designed five-bedroomed house in Haywards Heath, Sussex
Built back in 1963, this L R Barlow-designed five-bedroomed house in Haywards Heath, Sussex is a wonderful midcentury modern property that still maintains much of its original character.
Designed for the architect's own family, the house uses glass heavily fir the front and back elevations, so we're talking light throughout. There's also a largely unspoilt exterior and an interior that generally sticks to the original look – the windows, doors and flooring all look original, as does the staircase and some of the light fittings.
