Frinton1

Yes, we're still being overrun with stylish 1930s properties, this time a mix of classic and modern with the Skye Haus in Graces Walk, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex.

A three-bedroom detached house on a private road on the Frinton Park Estate that's just a stone's throw from the sea, it was built in 1934-5 by architect J T Shelton under the guidance of Oliver Hill. It was one of 35 houses built on a development that was intended to showcase the best in British modern design, all under the guidance of the most innovative young architects of the day. Even now, it's a head turner, despite its modest size.

For sale: 1930s six-bedroomed Art deco house in Luton, Bedfordshire

Luton1

We seem to be going all Art Deco on the property front this week. Not by choice, we just keep encountering such properties online, including this very eye-catching 1930s six-bedroomed Art deco house in Luton, Bedfordshire.

It was originally designed  and exhibited at the Daily Mail Home Exhibition at Earls Court in 1934, subsequently built in 1935, along with only two others, one in Hendon and one in Bognor. In more recent years (2001 to be precise), the house was featured on old BBC homes show Home Front, with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Diarmid Gavin reworking the interior and garden. But don't let that put you off.

For sale: 1930s Art Deco apartment in Harrogate, Yorkshire

I spent part of the weekend in Harrogate, checking out the sites and the property market, which currently includes this 1930s Art Deco apartment in Harrogate, Yorkshire.

Sat on the main Leeds Road into Harrogate, this was once a large Art Deco house until a developer decided two apartments were better than once house. Can't say I agree with the thinking, but at least said developer has maintained the classic exterior, the biggest selling point in my book.

For sale: Midcentury house in Little London near Longhope, Gloucestershire

An interesting property that might appeal to lovers of the open country, this midcentury house in Little London, near Longhope, Gloucestershire.

Designed by the architect Gerry Jones for his own use back in the 1960s, the house doesn't look much from the outside, but it does sit on a 1/3 acre plot with spectacular views towards the Forest of Dean, which is certainly a massive selling point. But it's not the only one.

TwentyTwentyOne warehouse sale – up to 85 per cent off design classics

Posted on | Leave a comment

Warehouse

We are fans of TwentyTwentyOne, which has plenty design classics on its racks, including some more obscure items (like the 1950s Hirche lounge chair we covered last week). So the warehouse sale might be worth checking out, especially with big discounts.

It takes place this Saturday, 10th July 2010 from 10am to 3am and for one day only. So get there early if you want to take full advantage. Like all warehouse sales, there's little detail of what will be available, only that the company will offer up to 85 per cent off furniture, lighting and accessories. Which sounds worth getting up early for to us.

The address you'll need is 18c River Street, London EC1R 1XN or telephone 0207 837 1900 for more details.
