Description
Langham House Close, designed by James Stirling & James Gowan in 1955, is a notable example of Modernist architecture, featuring concrete "gargoyles" and spouts inspired by Le Corbusier's Maisons Jaoul. This privately funded development, completed in 1958, was Stirling's first major work, predating his renowned projects like the Engineering Building at Leicester University and the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart. The flat is located in one of the "Pavilions" with lovely views, just 50m from Ham Common, a picturesque area with a traditional pub, pond, and cricket pitch, as well as access to Ham House and Richmond Park. The property is held on a share of freehold with a 999-year lease, and maintenance charges are £185 per month.
