We would probably describe it as space age now, but the architect called the style ‘kinetic’, with glass boxes are suspended in air by’I-beam’ girders over four floors.

Obviously the exterior has been updated over the years, but that ’60s feel is still very much present. Sat in around 0.27 acres of land, Villa Ex offers up four bedrooms, two reception rooms, three bathrooms, a small garden, swimming pool, a terrace and of course, those amazing views.
