An iconic country house that featured in several TV drama including Agatha Christie's Poirot has gone on the market for £2.5million.
The quirky Y-shaped High and Over was met with disdain from the public and local planners when it was built in 1931.
But the Grade II* listed building is now widely considered to be the first and finest house built in the Modernist style in Britain.
The six-bedroom property in Amersham, Bucks, was used in ITV's Poirot as the home of villain Henry Reedburn in The King of Clubs in 1989.
It also appeared in several other TV series including Midsomer Murders, New Tricks and Mr Selfridge, as well as a location for fashion and editorial features.

At the time it provoked a lot of debate with Sir John Betjeman saying 'all Buckinghamshire was scandalised' by its appearance.
