This two-bedroom apartment on the sought-after Langham House Close, a development on Ham Common, was sold by The Modern House in 2014. The development was previously described by the 20th Century Society as “a benchmark against which all other apartment blocks can be measured”.

English Heritage has given the group of apartments Grade II* listed status (extremely rare for a post-war property) in recognition not only of the exceptional design by the architects Stirling & Gowan but also the manner in which the buildings have been maintained since their construction in 1957-58.
