Sadly, these fine examples of housebuilding excess and design daring have now been destroyed beyond belief – usually via conservatories, double glazing doors and block paving.

Yes, our latest junkshop gem is a shrine to 70s design. Picked up for less than £1, it packs in over 50 different house specifications of the day, including full floor plans, interior ideas and a number of suppliers who could make your dreams come true.
