The Y-shaped High and Over combines modernism with classical influences
(Picture: The Unique Property Company)High and Over is no ordinary home. This legendary concrete, Y-shaped building is the UK’s first modernist house, deemed to be “of outstanding importance” by English Heritage. And now, it is for sale.
Built on a hilltop near Amersham between 1929 and 1931, High and Over was designed by New Zealand-born architect Amyas Connell for Bernard Ashmole, an author and art historian who later became keeper of Greek and Roman antiquities at the British Museum.
