This breathtaking concrete and glass home is on the market for £2.5million – and available to view remotely during lockdown.
The modern home – dubbed the ‘Ghost House’ thanks to its transparent design and because its slope setting means its hidden from view as you approach – is on sale in the picturesque village of Moreton Paddox in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Despite only being completed in December 2018, the house has won plaudits around the world. It won a 2019 Royal Institute of British Architects award and was shortlisted for Grand Designs House of the Year 2019.
The open-floor plan abode features an indoor cinema, filled with retro-looking red sofas, and a stunning pool at the entrance.
The clever multi-level design also features a sunken entrance courtyard and two subterranean bedrooms.
While the freeze on buying and selling properties means prospective buyers need to wait until restrictions are lifted until they can put in an offer, the home is still available to view via a remote tour with Savills.
While now is clearly not the time to move home, prospective buyers can still search for their perfect place – and this award-winning contemporary abode (pictured) might just hit the spot

Spanning 5,500 feet, it’s in the grounds of a demolished country house, occupying the space of a sunken garden. As such, most of the building is beneath ground level and is reached by walking past two enormous swimming pools.
The modern black-themed kitchen boasts an eight-metre-long black marble island with the view of another larger courtyard behind it.
Commenting on the house, Savills property agent Nick Rudge said: ‘Rarely have I had the chance to market such an inspiring home. The first time I saw the main elevation was truly breathtaking.’

‘Nestled between the market towns of Stratford-upon-Avon and Leamington Spa, Moreton Paddox occupies the site of a former manor by the same name, completed in 1915 by WH Romaine-Walker for the Garland family of Moreton Morrell Hall nearby,’ the estate agent website explained.
‘The family was ruined by the Second World War and the house demolished in 1959 before the land was sold off as smaller private plots, each taking a section of the original ornamental gardens with them.
‘Consequently, Moreton Paddox is primarily a hamlet of one-off 1960s houses, spaced out around the original grand U-shaped approach to the manor.’
