If this stunning property looks familiar it’s probably because it featured on Grand Designs, the TV show fronted by Kevin Mccloud.

The Ghost House, built from poured in-situ concrete, matt black steel and glass, lies in the pretty Warwickshire hamlet of Moreton Paddox.

It was a regional winner in the 2019 RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Awards and judges described it as ‘‘a truly unique and uncompromising home’.’

‘‘The simple palette of materials of the in-situ concrete and the black detailing has been delivered consistently to produce dynamic and brutal spaces that challenge the very essence of a house,’ they added.

Completed in December 2018 and boasting a cinema room, it was also shortlisted for the 2019 Grand Designs House of the Year show.

Cleverly constructed within the sunken garden of a demolished country house, the majority of the house is below ground level and lit by a series of different sized courtyards.

With water features and 3m ceiling heights throughout, it has a feeling of space, freedom and no little drama.

You enter The Ghost House between black ink pools and down a central concrete staircase into a subterranean courtyard, which pulls you to a black steel front door.

The lower level is a column free space running the full width of the house. A wall of glazing along its length opens onto the large courtyard which contains reflecting pools and two cherry trees.

Two black steel staircases leading to the main bedroom are reminiscent of those found in country houses that swept up from the hall.

Moreton Paddox is a new and unusual village, occupying the site of a former manor by the same name completed in 1915 but demolished in 1959 after the owners fell into financial ruin. It includes seemingly every fashion for domestic architecture since the 1960s.

Local amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Wellsbourne and Kineton.

The guide price is £2,500,000.
