The story of most C20th British housing is dreary pastiche, but there are isolated examples of more forward-looking building. Miramonte was designed in 1936-37 by Maxwell Fry, a leading exponent of Modernism. As usual, white exterior, and a variety of different sized and shaped masses and types of window. Grade II listed. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but it makes a change from leaded windows, fake beams and ill-proportioned porticos.
