This is an architect-designed property, described as being a ‘Scandinavian-style house’ and dating back to 1964. Like some others we have featured of late, it’s another out of the The Buildings of England book by Nikolaus Pevsner and Edward Hubbard, praised for a design that offers 180-degree views of the sea.

The house itself, which is located just outside Folkestone, is distinctive both in looks and construction. The latter is down to a steel frame, which is clad is clad in aluminium and timber, with a concrete tile hanging and a flat roof. The look of the place both inside and out is very much of the original era – this is the first time the house has been on the market in over 20 years. It really could be longer.

Once inside, you can see how little the place has changed – wood-clad ceilings and walks, room dividers, storage – it’s all here. Yes, it needs some modernisation, but if you are after a retro-styled home, this is a great canvas.
