For sale: 1960s Arthur A J Marshman-designed Horton Rounds circular house in Horton, Northamptonshire

Hort1

Round by name, round by nature, that's this Arthur A J Marshman-designed Horton Rounds house in Horton, Northamptonshire.

Arthur A J Marshman designed the house in 1966 on the grounds of the old tennis courts to Horton House. Why he decided on circular is anyone's guess, but we're glad he did, as he's left us a stunning period gem set out over three floors, with an annexe wing and some good outside space.

Reissued 1960s Adidas Achill trainers now available to buy

Achill1

We did preview these over on our His Knibs site a while back, but now the Adidas Achill trainers are available to buy.

A limited edition release of a lesser-known Adidas shoe, originally a running shoe and dating back to the late '60s, it's something of a forerunner to the better-known SL 72. In this case, you get the original shape, with a suede and mesh upper, D-ring lacing and cutaway sole, with a colour option of white or black. The other style pictured over the page.

If you want a pair, £65 secures a pair.

eBay watch: Pair of 1970s Milo Baughman lounge chairs

Baugh

Design details are scarce, but the picture should tell you everything about this pair of Milo Baughman lounge chairs, which are available on eBay right now.

No date is attributed, but judging by the look, we would say 1970s, possibly sneaking into the late 60s, but generally that era. It's a very stylish design, with that chromed frame supporting what looks like a very comfortable seat and back, with just minimal arm rests. It's a 'red-orange striped fabric' and the seat cushions are loose.

According to the seller, the chairs are 'in good condition' with 'normal scratches, marks and light scuffs' due to age, but are 'firm and sturdy'. For the two, the price right now is $9.99 (£6.23).

This time the 1976 indoor training shoe is reissued with a red suede and nylon mesh upper, with white leather stripes, white mid sole and white laces. If you love red and white, it's perfect. Of not, then…maybe not.

But if you do love them, £60 is the asking price.
