Hammersley Lane, Penn, Buckinghamshire, HP10

A stunning example of contemporary design, Opus House sits on a prime two-acre plot at the edge of Penn in the Chilterns, enveloped by spectacular landscaped gardens. Completing this private sanctuary is a hidden, heated outdoor swimming pool running alongside the house—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Opus House has been sympathetically built using a perfect blend of Danish brick, oak cladding and glass to create a stunning example of modern architecture. Sitting in a two acre plot on the edge of Penn in the Chilterns the house is off-set by the most beautiful landscaped garden. The house is flanked by a secluded heated outdoor swimming pool.

Mosaic lined heated swimming pool with insulated cover – 14ms long

View to the garden from the southern end of the main reception room.

The drama begins with a bridge to the front door which crosses the stream that wraps around the house and is bordered by Japanese themed rock gardens.

The Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau appliances throughout is flooded with light from every angle and provides access and views onto the pool and gardens beyond.

Keep fit or simply hang out with your car or art collection in the huge naturally lit space that can accomodate your every whim.

A car lift from the rear of the house provides discreet access to the lower ground which extends to nearly 17 metres leaving potential for multiple uses as well as providing garaging. The lower ground level is flooded with light from a glazed landing on the first floor of the house.

Dual-aspect family room leading to the dining room with doors to terrace and gardens beyond.

Understated bathrooms with underfloor heating throughout.

Stunning master bedroom with fireplace, vaulted ceiling and beautiful views.

State of the art cinema acoustic materials and bespoke seating designed by Cineak Holland in conjunction with hardware designed by Visionworks has created a breathtaking Dolby AV entertainment room.

This 21st century architectural masterpiece comes to life at night.

The bridge and front door are seductive at night.

The seduction begins the moment you drive through the front gates.
