Marcel Breuer House  

Nice to read that it has remained in the same family since the 40's and remains
largely unaltered.
I hope the new owners are sympathetic to the properties original condition.

I should
think it's Listed to the hilt?
(rightly so)

795000GBP seems pretty inexpensive for the only Breuer-designed house in Britain; around here, that's the price of a 150 square-meter Eichler in a good school district.
Does "Grade-II listed" mean it's designated as a historical landmark and can't be altered? Does it obligate the owners to maintain the property in a certain way?

I wish we had some of those Eichler houses over here. There's plenty of mid century modernism around here but nothing quite like that.

I
think the price is pretty reasonble too!
There are a couple of different types of Grade 2 listings(I've lived in a listed building so know the headaches)
Any alterations to the fabric of the building needs consent, and if it's grade 2* you need permission to alter the interior in any way too.

The house is just around the corner from me Robert, £795k for that road is way below average I would have thought so looks a great buy. Did you see the Patrick Gwynne house that is under offer? (less than a mile away).
