The Modern House has been selling Britain’s most iconic modern property for nearly a decade, and we are very pleased to be able to expose our properties to a wider audience of design-literate buyers and architecture enthusiasts than ever before. Our website attracted more than 250,000 unique visitors in the last year, and we expect that figure to rise substantially in 2013.
