A rare Art Deco house from the 1930s has been listed as a Grade II property - and is just one of two left of its kind in the country. 10 Dorchester Drive, Herne Hill, London, is a "remarkably well-preserved 1930s modern house" that hopes to give new owners an affordable slice of modern living.
The beautiful home was built in 1935-6 by two local builders, Cyril and Stanley Morrell, in collaboration with architects Leslie Kemp and Frederick Tasker. The house is based on the architects’ winning design for the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition in 1934, which was exhibited in a setting titled ‘Village of Tomorrow’.
It is just one of two known examples to have been built in the UK.
