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.
For sale: 1950s grade II-listed Highsett apartment in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
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.
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.
