Gadget HQ on market for £1.75m

A SWANKY contemporary property with the wow factor is up for sale in Birmingham.

Kuro Koti, a five-bedroom house in Harborne, is also known as the ‘Gadget HQ’ after featuring on TV’s The Gadget Show for two seasons.

After 18 months as a film and photography location, the futuristic property, on the corner of Lordswood Road and Croftdown Road, is now on the market for £1,750,000.

It boasts ‘‘architectural lines’’ and an open plan design, with floor to ceiling windows. And as summer approaches, the property is said to offer various ‘‘sun spots’’ and terraces.

Surrounded by landscaped ‘‘easy to enjoy’’ gardens, it is enclosed by electric gates. There are seven parking spaces at the side and front of the house.

Estate agent Knight Frank writes: “Kuro Koti, or ‘black house’, designed in 2018 by award-winning Birmingham architects BPN, offers beautifully finished, contemporary living space ‘‘With its high-end aesthetic appeal and well-proportioned open-plan spaces it works as the perfect contemporary home.

“With no curves, the architectural lines, natural surfaces and the cast concrete terraces fit the brief perfectly. The floor to ceiling windows provide uninterrupted views of the generous yet minimal enclosed garden area.’’ It adds: “Sitting on a corner plot, Kuro Koti can be accessed from Lordswood Road or Croftdown Road. “The impressive reception hallway provides access to the open-plan living space. There is a self-contained home office for privacy and a useful guest cloakroom/WC.

“The snug area with woodburner and views of the landscaped garden can either be connected or separated from the main living area with a concealed sliding partition.”

The main bedroom suite has bi-fold doors opening out onto a sun terrace; the perfect spot for al-fresco breakfast or bedtime relaxation, says the agent.
