Just saw a really interesting 1960s house

[Another2Cats]

I know many people go for period properties but I do really like some 1960s houses. This one, the interior hasn't been touched since then and it has a very "mid-century modern" feel to it.

It has 3/4 acre garden and is £450k in Knottingley, W Yorks

(no connection with the property - just saw it online)

It's fantastic. I agree with pp, that type of architecture and interiors are very calming. Maybe it's the way they're so thought through? There's a sense of security and optimism about them.

@Glitterbiscuits my grandparents had a sideboard like that too, and I've just bought a beautiful Olaio one for €700. They're very much in fashion.

What a beautiful house!

The tiles on the kitchen backsplash and next to that screen in the living room are just perfect.

Oh No
The Horror 😱

It's beautiful. I love the yellow and white kitchen.

@Trinity65

I suspect you have misinterpreted the spirit of my remarks.

I think @CutthroatDruTheViolent made a good comparison

This style of house was primarily occupied by older people in my area.

@TheLeadbetterLife

Ours was Jentique! I can't remember what happened to it after my parents died. I'd never have predicted it would be desirable.

The tiles are Ann Wynn Reeves.

Omg how cool

I love it,would rent it out for filming.

Well, it's definitely a unique house isn't it ? Every room is giving me a different emotion haha

It's lovely. The Modern House is my preferred property porn.

I was going to say that I'd been to that house, but on opening that link it's not the one I thought I was. I have been to a different Fred Taylor house nearby in Knottingley though, which a colleague of DH's was restoring to its original 60s glory. He sold it when the second baby came along. It was too small.

Both are lovely houses.

There was a lovely 1960s house with loads of original features sold near us, earlier this year. It probably has white walls and charcoal grey carpets already.

I'd like to know the owner - loving the artwork and artifacts.

I love it!

No, it was built as a single detached house. Although there is a self contained annexe to one side (above the garage) with a separate entrance.

That's a lovely house.

We have a 60s house, my wife wanted a 'character' house but when we came in here the huge windows with views of the Downs sold it to us instantly.

The downside was that in the early 60s a single electric socket at each end of a 20 foot living room and one in each bedroom was apparently enough for the needs of the day, so we had a lot of electrical work to do.

I love it, when I showed someone at work a couple of 60's/70's pieces of furniture he said "it's like my Nans furniture

Told him his Nan had great taste

It’s a beauty. Very Mindhunter’esque

Gorgeous, but those spiral stairs terrify me. I’d slip down those on the first day in.

Thanks OP, this is one of the best UK 60's houses I've seen on Rightmove, I love the website 'the modern house' too - absolutely love the wood panelling and all the stone.
I often look at the Barbican flats as some of them keep their original features and just a wonderful look overall.

Thank you! Love anything like this, I went to a wonderful exhibition of Althea McNish exhibition of mid century textiles a few years back (I bought a cushion and it brings me joy each day!)

Stunning
