Stillness, Bromley, Kent

"Stillness", Bromley, Kent Designed in 1934 by Gilbert Booth, its a leading example of Art Deco architecture. With its 56ft roof terrace, private landscaped garden and octagonal outdoor swimming pool. Thanks to a painstaking restoration undertaken by the present owners, the house stands much as it did in the 1930s. Recently assigned a Grade II listing, the five-bedroom property captures much of the elegance of a period many associate with pre-war Paris and the skyscrapers of Manhattan. After the programme was made, came onto the market at an asking price of over £1,295,000. (architect: Gilbert Booth, 1934)
