Amazingly, this 1930s art deco house in Enfield, North London, has never been on the market. But it has just gone up for sale after some sympathetic renovation by the family. bit.ly/4h4ZhK9

Perhaps not the kind of house you would expect of this area, but I love this 1970s modern house in Gaerwen, Anglesey, North Wales. The interior is amazing. bit.ly/4gWbqRm

Largely untouched by time, the Maze Hill midcentury modern house in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, is a thing of beauty. bit.ly/48bEulH

Quite the surprise beyond the front door of this 1970s time capsule in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. An interior pretty much untouched in 50 years, and also one of the cheapest houses I have featured on the site. bit.ly/4nRz8Bf

The wonderful 1970s Hole In The Wall modern house in Bangor-on-Dee, North Wales, has just had a drop in its asking price. A very appealing proposition if you like the area. bit.ly/46q8FV0

Grade II-listed and now completely renovated, the 1960s Fielding and Morrison modern house in Dorchester on Thames, Oxfordshire, is on the market. Interestingly, the design was based on the 'Ferris Bueller' house in the US. bit.ly/42E2Sc0

For no reason outside of curiosity, I tend to keep an eye on famous movie and TV houses to see if they ever come up for sale. This one, since I've been doing WowHaus, never has. It's Patrick McGoohan's house (Number Six) in The Prisoner before he's whisked off to Portmeirion.

I get asked about various interior designs in 20th-century houses constantly, so I'm going to compile various design round-ups. The first, now live, is my top 10 affordable retro ceiling lights on the high street. bit.ly/48rla3S

For me, the most exciting house to go up for sale this year. The 1960s Elbury Hall by Mervyn Seal in Brixham, Devon, has also had a significant price cut - now £650,000 less than its original asking price. Someone has to buy this. bit.ly/46ElCul

Fancy treating yourself to a break? This 1960s midcentury modern holiday let in Stroud, Gloucestershire, could be for you. Pool and hot tub too, as well as a cool '60s interior. bit.ly/4pqXoLk

Interesting and unusual architecture for the area with this Japanese Pole House in Hayle, Cornwall. Interesting additional fact - it used to be Kate Winslet's house. bit.ly/4lvQqBT

Some of you know I also write the Retro To Go blog, and I've been updating it a lot recently. That includes this range of 1970s-style brown glass tables that have just landed at John Lewis. bit.ly/45grFVp

Want to get away from it all? Check out the An Cnocan Dubh stone-clad lodge in Coillabus, Isle of Islay, Scotland. Touch of tradition, touch of midcentury modern, touch of an underground house too. bit.ly/40TZ99o
