Millbank Lane. Family House. Peter Beaven.
This beautiful “little house’ was designed by Peter Beaven for himself and his young family in 1962 – although they never moved in. Sited at the end of Millbank Lane at Carlton Mill, it sits on the bank of the Avon River opposite Hagley Park. The 3 bedroom house has been sympathetically updated over the years without losing any of its enduring appeal. A special house.

I believe this house might have been demolished recently

Timothy, you’re right, it’s well and truly gone. Bafflingly, the owners recently paid $800k for the home only to knock it down and replace it with this:
Before the auction, the agent read aloud a letter from Peter Beaven describing how pleased he was the house had been loved and enhanced over the years. Then the bidding began to destroy it. Morons.

Great to see our photos listed on your site. This was our house for several years. We always felt it was a remarkable house which we understood Peter had originally built for himself. We renovated it, so it is reassuring to hear that he felt the changes were sympathetic to its original design. Sad to see it demolished!
