Originality is certainly on its side. At first glance, you might think it looks a little dated. Then you realise it’s just the decor, along with the fixtures and fittings. Look beyond that and you’ll see a house pretty much unchanged over 50 years (later extension aside) and one that looks incredibly contemporary for its age.

In terms of specifics, this place has floor-to-ceiling glass at the front and back (so lots of natural light), with the layout made up of two ‘wings’ and a central core. Head left and you’ll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the centre containing the open plan entrance, leading to a study on either side of the front entrance lobby and to the right, a large reception room across the full width of the house. There’s also the kitchen and separate utility room plus a extension, which hosts the master bedroom and en-suite, a large dressing room lobby and a study, utility room and access to the garage.
