A property with a real 1960s feel is for sale – this Edward Hollamby-designed house in south west London, just a short walk from Brixton underground station.

It's a three-storey town house, part of a small terrace designed to 'suit' the space it was built in and having undergone a 'sympathetic' renovation eight years ago, leaving a mid-century feel to the place inside, using original features likes the open-tread staircase, a timber divider on the first floor and original doors and door furniture throughout.

One of our favourite 'guilty pleasure' movies is John Hughes' 80s teen classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And if we had the money, we would be all over one of the key locations from the movie – the mid-century 'Ferrari house', which is located in Highland Park, Illinois, USA and is now up for sale.

In the movie, the glass and steel construction was owned by the parents of Cameron Frye and housed the infamous Ferrari, which Cameron and Ferris used to get around town during that 'day off'. That's not included in the sale – but you'll find the garage, which is capable of holding up to three of your finest classic cars.

A fairly new build house that takes its inspiration from a pre-war German design house – this Bauhaus-inspired Manden House in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.

Yes, we're in the land of form and function, as well as one of the more desirable parts of Cheshire, so don't expect this to come cheap. Designed and built by Bluerock Developments, it offers up 5,800ft of open plan space, plenty of cutting-edge design and all the technology you can handle, including underfloor heating, an integrated audio system with touchscreen control, video entry and electronically-operated gates.

We continue to be amazed by the number of weird and quirky period properties throughout the UK as well as the number currently on the market – like Lantic House in Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire.

Designed by architects Saunders Boston in 1975, the house offers a country setting, a third of an acre of land and a design that could only have come out of the 1970s. Check out that double-height central space for something typically of its time, not to mention the spiral staircase and a concrete open fire place.

If you happen to have some money to spare and like the idea of spending time in a period house by the sea, you'll probably love this five-bedroom art deco house at South Cliff, Cooden Beach, East Sussex.

A superb 1930s design that's been granted Grade II listing, it offers all the style and all the space – five bedrooms and an extensive garden. Not only that, the path outside leads right to the nearby beach, while a short drive will take you to the De-La-Warr Pavilion in nearby Bexhill. It's art deco heaven.
