One of a kind, luxury home in a prime Bowdon location.DescriptionAn incredible feat of architecture and engineering, this is a truly unique, luxury home in a prime Bowdon location.The property is almost entirely subterranean, completely hidden from public view beneath landscaped gardens, yet flooded with space and natural light in a superb example of intelligent design and engineering.Approaching the location, there is little sign of a luxury residence. A small glass gatehouse sits behind electric gates amongst rolling manicured gardens in a large, 0.5 acre circular plot. The secret is revealed beyond the electric gates, where a vehicle lift lowers residents down to an underground drive-in garage, which in turn opens directly into the main living space. It's a spectacular means of entrance to a property.Internally, the property comprises three luxurious bedroom suites set around an expansive circular open-plan living, dining and entertaining area, including Bar and dj booth. The specification is superb, with top of the range fixtures, fittings, appliances, technology and interior design throughout. Practicalities are well catered for, with a well-equipped utility room, built-in wardrobes and good storage space.Externally, a terraced area off the living space has a hot tub and spiral staircase to enjoy the garden above, while one of the bedrooms has an additional private terrace area. Stairs rise from the main living space up to the glass gatehouse, for a more conventional entrance point. There are two further parking spaces in addition to the underground garage.Never before lived in, the property is exceptionally private, with impressive security. It is offered fully furnished and is available for immediate occupation.We're aware that there are planning applications to a nearby property.
