"Forty-two glazed panels flood the ground floor interior space with light, whilst offering panoramic views of the garden to the south."
Designed by the architect Bill Bradshaw in 1967, this beautifully preserved five-bedroom house is situated in the historic North Yorkshire village of Scriven and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a spectacular example of Mid-Century Modern architecture in delightful rural surroundings.
History
"The architecture takes inspiration from iconic Mid-Century design - particularly the Californian case study houses - set against the rolling Yorkshire countryside."
William Bradshaw was a Yorkshire-based architect who intended this house for his own family. Built in 1967, the architecture takes inspiration from popular Modern designs of the era - particularly the Californian case study houses – with floor to ceiling windows, redwood ceilings, moveable external panels that allow for a flexible layout, and a single storey layout that embeds the residents in the surrounding gardens.
Bradshaw’s design is intended not to stand out from the other houses in the Yorkshire village, but to merge with landscape. As such, portions of the external walls are of local stone. Bradshaw’s design was lauded at the time, and the house was featured in Ideal Home magazine.
