This four-bedroom modern house in Blackheath was designed in the late 1960s by the architect Royston Summers. It was sold by The Modern House in 2015.

North Several is a small group of seven houses built to the highest standards for a collective of private individuals that included the noted playwright and novelist Michael Frayn. Set among communal gardens, the houses are of an eye-catching glass, concrete and brick construction. Featuring large open-plan spaces and wonderful views, the houses caused considerable excitement when they were built, winning a design award from the then Minister of Housing and Local Government, and they continue to garner praise to this day. This particular house was where Summers lived, and still contains a lot of the original built-in furniture.
