Sun Houses, Highover Park, Amersham
A set of beautiful 1930s houses on a hillside setting between new and old Amersham.
One was recently on the market, and this is from the estate agent's blurb :-
" A stunning grade ii listed detached house designed by the renowned architectural partnership Connell & Ward, early exponents of the modernist movement in the 1930’s, strongly influenced by the French modernist Le Corbusier. There are five ‘sun houses’ built on the slopes leading to the famous High & Over House. These are believed to be amongst the first modernist houses built in Britain and have featured in books, tv programmes and journals covering significant buildings of the 20th century, together with those on Metroland immortalised in Sir John Betjeman’s poetry."
The last sentence is rather disingenuous, as Betjeman was actually quite rude about these places.

Amersham: Sun Houses One and Two
Iconic 1930s built homes in Highover Park, infamously described by John Betjeman as "scandalizing Buckinghamshire", they have since been surrounded by trees and other houses and have partially lost their views out over the valley of the River Misbourne.
