Slazenger Heritage clearance at Secret Sales

Posted on | Leave a comment

Bing

You may remember we recently featured the Slazenger Heritage 1970s 'Bing Crosby' lambswool cardigan. Well that, as well as other Slazenger Heritage items, are now in a clearance sale on the Secret Sales website.

As well as the Bing knits, there's also some lambswool v-neck jumpers, polo shirts and some jackets, all around half price. So that 'Bing' cardigan from 1977 is £39 right now. There's also a discount code on the site for a further 10 per cent off for anyone who hasn't used the site before.

Stock is likely to be limited, so you might want to get in sooner rather than later for the better items. The Slazenger stock is in the 'Men's Heritage Boutique' section and you do have to sign up (for free) if you've not viewed the site before.

For sale: 1960s-designed five-bedroom house in West Byfleet, Surrey

Byfleet1

Not every house we feature necessarily comes with a designer pedigree. This 1960s-designed five-bedroom house in West Byfleet, Surrey is just one of 11 similarly-styled houses on the same estate. But it's an incredibly distinctive house nonetheless.

The interior has been made to look very 'average' to be honest, but it's a design that should be very easy to change around and return to a '60s-style pad, if that's what you want. See the interior shots to see what we mean by that.

For sale: Michael Sassoon-designed 1960s midcentury-style house in Cheadle, Cheshire

Cheadle1

It might not look like much from the outside, but we love the inside of this Michael Sassoon-designed midcentury-style house in Cheadle, Cheshire. Mainly because it's hardly been touched since the day it was built.

We presume that's in the 1960s, it's not entirely clear. But we do know that this three-bedroom house was designed by renowned residential architect Michael Sassoon, one of a number he designed around the area. However, most have been severely updated and look little like an original these days. That's not the case here.

Batmobile

Yes, you really can live out your childhood (and possibly adult) fantasy by securing a replica Batmobile, able to drive around the streets and park at your local supermarket. If you can find a parking bay big enough.

It really is impressive, an officially licensed replica, based on the iconic 1966 car, with a brand new GM350 crate engine powering its fibreglass body along the road. All your driving essentials are here too, including gauges, push-button ignition and working lights. But what about the gadgets you ask? Yes, it's packed full of those too.

We do tend to feature a lot of houses with restrictively-high prices on here and while we're not claiming this Edward Schoolheifer-designed three-storey house in Manygate Lane, Shepperton, Surrey is cheap, it might well be a house that's affordable to some of you.

Designed by the Swiss architect Edward Schoolheifer for the Lyon Group in 1964, it's a three-storey, two-bedroom modern house that's located on the celebrated Manygate Lane estate in Shepperton. Interesting period architecture, but without the 'Lotto win' price tag.

For sale: Charles Deaton’s Sculptured House – 1960s space age house from Woody Allen’s Sleeper in Denver, Colorado, USA

Sleeper1

Big thanks to Bob Luedeka for flagging up the sale of arguably the most famous space age house ever built – Charles Deaton's Sculptured House.

You probably know it better as the house in Woody Allen's futuristic 1973 movie Sleeper, but the property pre-dates that year, designed and built in 1963, just outside Denver, Colorado and covering 7,500 sq. ft. over three floors. It was last sold in 1999 by software millionaire John Huggins for $1.3 million, a native of the area who picked up the place in a state of serious neglect – and went about restoring it back to its former glory.
