Overshot was designed by the celebrated architects, Godfrey Samuel and Valentine Harding in 1937, founding members of the Tecton Group. Listed Grade II, it is a good example of Modern Movement architecture. The principal rooms face south with views over the garden towards Bagley Wood, and the feeling of light and space is further enhanced by large windows throughout. With a practical and flexible layout arranged over two floors, it will appeal to families of all ages. The entrance hall runs along the north side and faces the large driveway. The welcoming drawing room leads to the dining room and has access to the south facing loggia. The kitchen and pantry were combined to create a single room in the 1970’s, and in 2013 a new kitchen was instilled, which still maintained the original fitted cupboards and tiling.
