General Description Built in 1938, Manderley was designed by Perthborn, Cecil Stewart, a decorated fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Cited as one of few noteworthy examples of 20th Century architecture in the county, Stewart exercised his finesse to deftly encapsulate the style of the Art Deco movement within the residential property. Recently, a renovation project, steered by Roderick James (RIBA), has seen the property evolve into a spacious and dynamic family home, attuned to the tastes and trends of discerning modern lifestyles. A highly-regarded architect in his own right, James adopted a synergistic approach to the original design influences, conceptualising a dramatic, contemporary vision of the Moderne property. Coveting a highly desirable plot on Mount Tabor Road, Manderley is screened from the street by a tall beach hedge. A stone pillared entrance, with a pair of electric iron gates, which allude to its Art Deco origins, with geometric detailing, give access into the garden. A block-paved driveway, lined with pretty crab apple trees and low-level lighting, sweeps towards the house itself. Manderley s attractive façade is defined by the principles of the Moderne style; a central balcony and cross-hipped roof fashion the stepped profile, which was synonymous with the movement. Fresh rendering and striking contemporary window frames create a clean modern effect, which is animated by the charming Art Deco styling, such as a distinctive central chimney and the curious porthole windows. Internally, a comprehensive refurbishment has fluently upgraded the classic interior with a high specification of modern finish, in harmony with the overarching style.
