Ah, that new house smell…

Woman's Weekly / 4th April 1969

I can’t imagine Kelloggs’ giving away a new house nowadays, or offering a redecoration of a house, but although they’re all excellent prizes, all that comes to mind is the paint smell!

I wonder who won it… and if it’s still standing… and if the people still live there…?

Well the estate itself appears to still exist (a quick Google search found an architect with his registered office on the estate). I doubt whoever lives there now still has the 1960s decoration in place though.

Yeah, looking for Hayesford Park gives you Hayesford Park Drive in Bromley, which gives you a road of similar houses.

Wow, that house looks just like the ones a few streets away from where I grew up. With their open-plan living areas, open staircases and flat roof garages, I though they were impossibly glamorous compared to our double-bayed 1920s semi.
