An exceptional contemporary home architecturally designed

KEY FEATURES

• Home Automation
• Architecturally Designed and celebrated 
• Freehold

The South and West elevations are fully glazed, providing spectacular leafy views across the cemetery and wonderful, light-filled spaces. By contrast, the street façade is mysterious and private, a curtain wall of honed black granite, steel panels, and opaque glass.

Featuring an impressive open-plan entertaining room, a kitchen dining room with a retractable glass roof, and a beautiful glass-walled study, the house is perfect for contemporary living and entertaining. All the first and second-floor rooms have balconies, whilst the ground-floor bedrooms open onto a small private terrace. There is a state-of-the-art cinema room in the basement.

The house is well equipped with modern technology, with an integrated audio-visual system, central controls for underfloor heating and lighting, and a recently-upgraded security system. There is a large integral garage which currently holds one car and a small gym. The house has ample storage, including generous cupboards (some concealed) and a basement storeroom.

The home has starred in several TV shows, both programmes about the house and shows using it as a location, and it is featured in several books on modern architecture. The present owners have also hosted regular live music events in it, and describe it as a perfect house to live in. The distinguished modernist architect John Winter (whose original building it replaced) described it as ‘as near to a faultless building as I have seen for a long time’. This is only the second time it has been sold.
