It?s an interesting building that initially gives the impression of being modernism from the first half of the 20th century. It?s much later. Cliff Road Studios dates to 1968, the work of architect Georgie Wolton and a building where properties rarely come up for sale.

Georgie Wolton was a founding member of the architectural firm Team 4, which also included the likes of Richard Rogers, Su Brumwell, Norman Foster and Wendy Cheesman. Some pedigree there, although Wolton was the only qualified architect at the time of the practice?s formation and, as such, key to establishing the practice in its early days.

She moved on not long after and worked on a selection of projects during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Cliff Road Studios is perhaps the most notable and a building that has aged well. The best modernism always does. It sits outside time.

There?s something else notable about this building that isn?t as obvious. It was once a TV star. Ok, that might be pushing it a little, but it did feature in the cult 1970s crime show The Professionals...
