"High & Over" is one of Englands most famous Art Deco mansions, featured in many movies, and TV shows set in the 1930's currently on the market!, at £2,395,000 Freehold, considering you pay $ 10 M, for a luxury apartment here in Swan River City, it represents good value!"
"The last great British country house and the first modern house in the English countryside." The House Book, Phaidon, 2001
High & Over is widely considered to be the first and finest house to be built in the Modern style in Britain. Designed in 1929 by Amyas Connell (who later became part of the pioneering architectural practice Connell, Ward & Lucas), the Grade II* listed house is being offered for sale in its entirety for the first time since it was divided into two properties in 1962.
Now re-united into one property under single ownership, High & Over offers extensive accommodation including 7/8 bedrooms, 6 reception rooms, an extensive roof terrace and stunning circular pool.
Amongst the many original features that the property retains, the most impressive are perhaps the spiral staircase encased entirely in glass, the chrome double front doors, the large circular balcony overlooking the marble-floored hall and the spectacular roof terraces. The gardens retain the original circular swimming pool at the bottom of steps leading down from the house. For more on the design and history of the house see the History section.
The house is set in grounds of 1.7 acres. From the roof terrace there are far reaching views across the historic Amersham Old Town and the River Misbourne Valley. High & Over is located on Highover Park, close to Old Amersham, a popular and historic market town with exceptional links to London. Trains run into Marylebone in approx 35 minutes, whilst there is also a London Underground station (Metropolitan Line). There is easy access to the M40 and M25. Highover Park is a residential road that that is also the site of a number of smaller ‘Sun Houses’ designed by Connell & Ward in 1934, as well as a development of more recent 1960s town houses.
