I have featured a few in the past, but none as eye-catching as this 1960s Edward Schoolheifer Manygate Lane house in Shepperton, Surrey. And no, I'm not sure if this is the one Tom Jones lived in. bit.ly/4ccQjKc

Thanks to both design inspiration and preservation, this 1970s modern house in Crouch, near Sevenoaks, Kent, is still faithful to the original design inside and out. Now on the market. bit.ly/4a6OkGd

This 1960s modern house in Newton Mearns, near Glasgow, is up for sale for the first time since it was built. Plenty of original details still intact. bit.ly/4brZhmB

On the market for the first time since construction, this 1960s modern house in Hove, East Sussex, is quite the statement house. The pool house itself is as big as most houses. bit.ly/49MOZuQ

I mentioned the Ravenscroft 1960s midcentury modern house in St. Margarets Bay, Kent, last year. It's now being marketed at a lower price, so worth mentioning again. An absolutely stunning location. bit.ly/3LB27LD

Looking for a project? This 1970s modernist church in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, is just on the market and might well qualify for that. Although what you could do with it is anyone's guess. bit.ly/4jLQ0I8

Sadly the 70s started 55 years ago. So it’s no longer that recent. And I’m old enough to remember it too.

Yes, very likely!

Not a time capsule, but this 1970s-styled retro house in Leeds, West Yorkshire, is pretty much a step back in time. if you love the '70s, this might be your dream home. bit.ly/4r2yodz

A great design that has survived well. Great location too. This 1960s Kenneth Wood modern house near Worthing, West Sussex, is now on the market. bit.ly/3Yyu8Gx

I was sent a press release for that the other day I think!

Pretty much a time capsule of the era, this 1960s RG Carter modern house in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, is now on the market. bit.ly/3MAziPo

It needs extensive work, but I know this midcentury modern renovation project in Llangynog, Powys, Wales will appeal to many of you. An auction property with a guide of around Β£225k. bit.ly/4iA4dHr

One of a pair of similar designs, but this particular 1960s Colin St John Wilson modern house in Cambridge is up for sale. Grade II-listed and hovering somewhere between modern and brutalism. Hardly changed over the years, too. bit.ly/4pJB67c

Not a commonly seen design, which is what makes this 1960s A-frame house in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, stand out from the crowd. It's also packed with original details, and is one of the cheapest houses I've featured this year. bit.ly/4pw2vct

The first time on the market for this 1970s modern house in Frodsham, Cheshire, with so many details of the day intact. bit.ly/47TP9B1

I love pretty much everything about this 1960s midcentury modern house in Holt Heath, Worcester. Just had a price drop too. bit.ly/3LJ1oYv

Potentially more of a WeirdHaus than a WowHaus, but this 1960s Cold War ROC underground Bunker in Hallen, Bristol is fascinating. Up for auction with a guide of Β£20k. bit.ly/49mADCT

A dream of a project for someone, this 1960s midcentury modern house in Bonehill, Staffordshire, is now up for sale. bit.ly/4oMkFaa

I’ve been there and been to far worse. All town tend to have good and less desirable areas.

Surprised this one is still on the market, considering how popular it was. The 1970s time capsule in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, with an interior pretty untouched in 50 years, and one of the cheapest houses I have featured. bit.ly/4r04t6G

Yes, a lot of work is needed here, but I suspect this 1960s renovation project in West Rainton, Durham, will catch someone's eye. Especially at Β£215k. bit.ly/4oRHn03
