Art Deco former motor showrooms, Corsley Heath, nr. Warminster, Wiltshire According to the estate agents, "Cavallino House is an Art Deco style building with significant motor racing history, previously accommodating a motor vehicle workshop and showroom". Cavallino Rampante is Italian for Prancing Horse and associated with Ferrari, so that may be the racing link. The building looks recently restore and maybe it previously had metal Crittall windows.
