For sale: Grade II-listed three-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright-style property in Solihull, West Midlands

Sol1

Hidden away in the Midlands is a grade II-listed midcentury property – this three-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright-style property in Solihull, West Midlands.

It's a bizarre house, at least in terms of the interior and what we can see of the exterior. It was apparently built in the late 50s and has been listed due to its 'distinctive architectural style'. It's also only been up for sale once since being built. Until now that it.

For sale: 1960s midcentury four-bedroomed house in Bishop’s Stortford, Herts

Bish1

It's a house that looks better on the inside than out, at least, according to the images we've seen – but this 1960s midcentury four-bedroomed house in Bishop's Stortford, Herts is certainly architecturally important and of course, on the market right now.

It's lack of striking exterior is actually down to the design. The work of Cambridge-based practice Lyster, Grillet & Harding in the late 1960s, this single-storey house is situated on an elevated site, with a large garage / storage space at street level and a designer set of stairs with an overhead canopy, taking you to the terrace, the gardens and the main house.

For sale (at a reduced price): Cameron’s house in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, located in Highland Park, Illinois, USA

Ferris1

Remember this? Of course you do, this is Cameron's house (aka the 'Ferrari House') from John Hughes' 80s teen classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We featured it when the house went up for sale back in 2009 and said back then, if we had the money, we would be all over it. Well, according to Gizmodo, the economic slowdown seems to have hit the luxury property market, so the money required to buy this midcentury gem in Highland Park, Illinois, USA is much less than it was back then.

As you undoubtedly recall, this glass and steel construction was owned by the parents of Cameron Frye and housed the infamous Ferrari, which Cameron and Ferris used to get around town during that 'day off'. That's not included in the sale (it was sold last year) – but you'll find the garage, which is capable of holding up to three cars, classic or not.

For sale: Peter Moiret-designed terrace house in The Hamlet, Champion Hill, London SE5

Ham1

Not the most instantly eye-catching house we've ever featured, but this Peter Moiret-designed terrace house in The Hamlet, Champion Hill, London SE5 is certainly architecturally significant and ripe for a renovation.

A mid-terrace house, it's located on what is described as 'one of London's most desirable modernist developments' – a collection of 32 dwellings designed by Peter Moiret that all overlook a communal green, as well as being located on a peaceful hilltop site surrounded by trees, but still within easy reach of central London.
