Progression Despite Recession - "Lickey House", Barnt Green, West Midlands.
|
|
| |
This is a rare opportunity to live in a house designed by the architect Oscar Deutsch, renowned for creating the iconic style of ODEON Cinemas. Built in the 1930's by respected builders Higgs and Hill in an 'Art Deco' style, the house has been refurbished by Tracey Prince to accommodate the modern lifestyle, whilst retaining much of the original character. Built on land formerly owned by the Earl of Plymouth, this house is double-glazed, has gas-fired central heating and offers spacious and flexible accommodation. The following images provide an insight into the transformation of Lickey House ...a truly stunning property. |
