A fairly new build house that takes its inspiration from a pre-war German design house – this Bauhaus-inspired Manden House in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
Yes, we're in the land of form and function, as well as one of the more desirable parts of Cheshire, so don't expect this to come cheap. Designed and built by Bluerock Developments, it offers up 5,800ft of open plan space, plenty of cutting-edge design and all the technology you can handle, including underfloor heating, an integrated audio system with touchscreen control, video entry and electronically-operated gates.
In terms of specifics, you get an Arthouse Interiors designed Siematic breakfast living kitchen with Miele appliances, a glass-panelled staircase, glazed walls to hallway, a family room/media room, utility room, cloakroom, six en-suite bedrooms and folding doors that open the house out into the garden.
If you packed it with authentic modernist design, it could be the perfect mix of old and new. But with an asking price of £2.9 million, you might not have much change to play with for buying chairs and lighting.
This looks really like the house in the film Endless Night with Hayley Mills, Britt Ekland and George Sanders. Wonder if it’s the same one?
