McIntyre Road, Worcester, Worcestershire, WR2 5LQ

This rare 'Le Corbusier' inspired state-of-the-art house is outstanding. Architect designed, eye catching, quiet and energy efficient with a large lawned garden and off-street parking is located only five minutes' walk to the local shops of St. John's in Worcester. A video is available on request..

Built in 2015 to Passivhaus standards and clad in special corten steel, the rusted facade is both impressive and architecturally unique. Internally, this contemporary home also stuns with impeccable lines, open plan layout, wonderfully capacious and bright living spaces.

The house is entered via a level slate walkway from the road over the drive, through a highly secure front door. The entrance hallway has plenty of storage and doubles as a utility space; adjacent is a fully-tiled WC with a walk-in shower.

The ground floor, finished to a very high standard, makes incredible use of glass, space and natural light. Double height windows and glass doors beautifully capture south-facing sunlight and the glorious views of the rear garden. The open plan layout includes a delightful sitting area, modern kitchen, dining area and separate TV/cinema room.

The streamlined kitchen at 25' long runs the length of the living area and comprises a Miele induction hob, electric fan oven, Franke boiling water tap, copper double sink with drainer (rescued from a French farmhouse) and plenty of storage.

Much of the lighting is controlled by dimmer switches, enabling a very warm feel to the roomy spaces. The environmental, energy-saving credentials and clean lines stand out. A PAUL mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR) as well as triple glazed windows ensure that energy from any sunlight keeps the house remarkably warm in winter months. Gas central heating is via a Worcester Bosch boiler and is cost effective.

A stunning feature staircase bisects the kitchen and dining areas but with cleverly apportioned glass bannisters which continue to allow natural light to further illuminate the ground floor and landing. The coated iron and solid oak staircase with handmade 'floating' bookshelves' leads to a wonderful landing area which looks out over an impressive void with seamless views to the garden. It is currently used as a library.

Two double bedrooms, one with a wall of fitted wardrobes and contemporary en suite bathroom and one with an en suite WC are an ideal size, continuing the tardis-like feel. Bedroom 3 or a study/home office provides a useful work from home option.

A retractable wooden staircase ladder leads up to a useful loft room. A window opening allows access to a wide flat roof with superb views across the city rooftops towards the Cathedral and Malvern Hills. With some reconfiguration this could be an impressive additional outdoor space.

GARDEN

The L-shape garden is substantial and south-facing. Mostly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A part-insulated shed with wooden pergola and deck is tucked away out of sight when admiring the lengthy garden views. Directly outside the house is a walled patio with hardwood decking and hand-built table and seating. The area is a sun trap and provides the perfect outdoor space to entertain friends and family.

We highly recommend viewing this unique and captivating modern home. Properties of this type are rarely available so we do expect considerable interest from those who appreciate the style of such a special house build.
