An interesting house designed by an architect for his own use – and inspired by giants of days gone by – the Ellis-Miller House in Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire.
Designed by Jonathan Ellis-Miller in the late 80s and inspired by the likes of Mies Van Der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames and Craig Ellwood, this single-storey house is an award-winning design, but doesn't come with a restrictive price tag.
No, it didn't actually slip off a sharp cliff near Cameron's modernist house – the Ferrari that featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off survived and is now up for auction at Bonhams.
It's a Ferrari 250GT Spyder California, but not a real one – only 100 of the original were made between 1958 and 1963, making it super-rare, so John Hughes and Paramount actually had a replica made for filiming. Which is the one being sold off now. Just think, you too could be careering around the city in that same car – but you'll not have to worry about the mileage or your parents.
A lovely location and a lovely property too. This 1960s architect-designed house in Ansty, Dorset is on the market. Read more
