Set in the delightful town of Darlington, England, the four-bedroom residence comes with timber paneling, garden views, and a bright-yellow front door.

Location: Darlington, Durham, England

Price: £500,000 (approximately $618,884 USD)

Year Built: 1966

Architect: Robert Shaw Mortimer & Elizabeth Mortimer

Footprint: 1,804 square feet (four bedrooms, two baths)

From the Agent: "This carefully preserved four-bedroom family home in Darlington, Durham, was designed in 1966 by architects Robert Shaw Mortimer and his wife, Elizabeth Mortimer. Retaining the hallmarks of midcentury modernism, including beautiful pine wall paneling, the interior spaces have a seamless sense of flow. The house epitomizes the focus on indoor/outdoor living for which the architects are so renowned. It is surrounded by 0.65 acres of garden and home to an incredible variety of mature trees such as chestnut, willow, and cedars, while the banks of the River Tees are just a short walk away."


A long, winding driveway creates a welcoming approach to the single-story residence. The bright yellow front door pops against the home's black-stained larch facade.
