Located approximately five miles from Rye with its winding cobbled streets, medieval buildings, quirky shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants and 13 miles from Hastings with its new Jerwood Gallery designed by HAT Projects, we have recently added this holiday property to our holiday lets collection. Designed by Tim Bushe in 2011, Boxwood is an upside-down low-energy house surrounded by an ancient woodland. The property has three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite wet room. There is also a large family bathroom with bath and shower. The focus of the house is a large open-plan living space which makes use of the entire volume of the upper level created by the pitched roof. A spacious kitchen opens to a dining area. In the garden are two adjoining terraces from which to enjoy the woodland.

For additional modern architecture, the house is situated just along the coast from Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff’s restored De La Warr Pavillion in Bexhill, with its expansive arts programme. Derek Jarman’s converted fisherman’s hut and garden and other notable new buildings such as Nord’s Shingle House are to be found at Dungeness.

Set in Old Hunstanton, a small village on the north Norfolk coast, is this classic example of Modern architecture. Built in 1971 by the architect Robin Spence, this single-storey house sleeps six people. Its design consists of an unusual steel portal I-beam frame construction with 32ft spans, and bronze-anodized aluminium double-glazed elevations to front and rear. Internally, there are many of the original fittings, and the current owners have filled the house with a mix of modern and vintage furniture and art. There is also a superb design library for when you can find quiet moment.

The property, set in enclosed gardens with sea glimpses, offers two double bedrooms: one with a king-size bed, another with twin beds that can be made up as a super-king-size double. There is also a good-quality double sofa bed located in the living room which can accommodate another two people. There is a large open-plan kitchen-dining-living room, a family room with big flat-screen TV, DVD and turntable, and a bathroom with power-shower. In addition, there is a cloakroom, a garage with a table-tennis table and a half-size pool table, hanging for kites, boards and space for bikes, and a large boiler room with space for drying wetsuits etc. For more information, visit: The Modern House

This holiday property designed by local architect George Grey is situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, famous for its rolling hills and valleys. Built in 1962 at the centre of Ashford-in-the Water, one of the most photographed villages in the country, the house is a fine example of Mid-Century Modernism and offers a luxurious and peaceful holiday retreat.

Internally, the accommodation consists of four double bedrooms, each sleeping two people. Three of the rooms can be configured as doubles or singles. In addition two travel cots can be provided for infant guests. There are four bath/shower rooms and a separate WC; two are ensuite. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen, and a separate utility room. The living area is open plan and flows beautifully from the kitchen around the side, and across the front of the house. The kitchen looks onto the day room, which provides a breakfast bar onto the kitchen, and plenty of comfortable seating. The day room flows into the dining room, which flows into the beautiful sitting room where the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and doors give views across the gardens down to the river. All four bedrooms also have views of the garden. There is an entrance hall with a desk suitable for working, and a coat and boot cupboard. There is also a games room with pool and table football.
