High1

Plenty of new-build flats on the market, but none are a patch in this 1950s grade II-listed Highsett apartment in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.

This is one of 37 apartments that were built in the late 1950s, getting grade II status back in 1998. It's modernism of the era and still incredibly stylish and practical today. It's also quite conveniently located too, within walking distance of the city centre and the train station. That's if you need to be in Cambridge obviously.

Town Colour It Yourself Poster from Summerville

Posted on | Leave a comment

Il_570xN_197230033 
You may remember the Scandi Poster from Summerville we featured a while ago – now the same company Summerville have produced a new design on the same idea.

Where the Scandi design featured flowers, the Town Colour It Yourself poster should appeal to anyone with a love of architecture as it features rows of houses in different styles, along with passing traffic of vintage-looking cars. It has been screenprinted, but with only a black outline; the rest being left for you to colour in with pencils, felt tips or crayons as you wish.

It costs about £10 from the Summerville Etsy store.

For sale: Midcentury-style four-bedroomed house in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria

Great location and some interesting midcentury-style architecture – this four-bedroomed house in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria certainly has a lot going for it.

We don't know when it was built, the 1960s would be a educated guess though, with the current owners being here for the last 30 years. Found in 'one of the area's foremost post codes' and in the middle of the Lake District, the house is a mix of old and new, with the original design features intact, rubbing shoulders with some modern-day upgrading in the kitchen and bathroom for example.

For sale: 1960s modernist Parker Residence in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, USA

If modernism with great views appeals, the US looks like the place to be, judging by the Parker Residence in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

An impressive, almost futuristic residence, it's actually nearly 50 years old, the work of architect Foster Rhodes Jackson in 1964. It looks stunning now, it must have quite a site when constructed 'back in the day'.

For sale: 1930s art deco house in Guiseley, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Leeds1

Many of the art deco houses we see on the market are pushing the £1 million mark. This 1930s art deco four-bedroomed house in Guiseley, near Leeds, West Yorkshire is more modest in both size and price, but does need a little work.

Not too much though, the overall structure looks to have been maintained since the original construction, with the likes of the windows, doors and staircase still looking as they should be (but can't be absolutely sure) That front door in particular is impressive in its originality. The garage door certainly isn't!
