When Luciana’s parents drove past Woodthorpe, an Art Deco house in Worcester Park, Surrey, they knew they had to buy it.Thought to have been built in 1935 by the architect L. Norman Holt, Woodthorpe is a white building with black detailing —windowsills, garage, door and ship railings, for example— curved edges and Crittall windows. It had a ‘for sale’ sign outside.
