Low-lying and lateral, this bright three-bedroom house has been brilliantly renovated in recent years with the utmost sensitivity for its mid-century origins. Its plan takes an L-shape, with sliding glazed doors that provide several points of passage to a generous private garden. The house forms part of Frederick Gibberd’s master plan for Harlow, Essex, a town that sits on the periphery of the capital and is a quick 30-minute train from London Liverpool Street.
