This striking
three-bedroom house forms part of one the most remarkable housing developments
built in the UK during the 1960s. Designed by Laurie Abbott in 1966, this small-scale development is an example of
post-war architecture at its most exciting. Abbott, who until his recent
retirement was a senior director at the Richard Rogers Partnership, has been an
instrumental figure on some of the most significant architectural achievements
of the 20th century, including the Pompidou Centre and Lloyd's of London.
The house is one of 32,
built in blocks of four among landscaped surroundings in the small,
well-connected Surrey town of Frimley.The current owners have sympathetically maintained and updated the
house to a high standard, including the fitting of double-glazed windows
throughout. The property comes with a garage, a small courtyard garden and
access to the more extensive communal gardens.
Frimley is easily
accessed by road via the nearby M3, which leads directly into London and to the
M25. It has a small train station which connects to London trains, however most
Frimley residents who travel regularly to London prefer to drive or take the
bus to nearby Farnborough station (approximately 5 minutes) to take the regular
fast trains to Waterloo (journey time approximately 35 minutes). Frimley is well
served by supermarkets, high-street shops and restaurants. It is also very
close to the open Surrey and Hampshire countryside and green spaces such as Frimley Lodge Park.
