Key features and description

An architectural masterpiece with a world class recording studio across an 8 acre site.

This opulent property is a true masterpiece of design and comfort, offering a harmonious blend of spaciousness, elegance, and history. 

The property comprises the main McGrath-designed modernist "Round House", which extends to approximately 6,500 sq. ft, and a converted 19th-century "Coach House" which provides a further area of approximately 4,500 sq. ft, situated within 20 meters of the main house. These two buildings, both of which have been comprehensively and immaculately refurbished by the current owners, sit atop the eight-acre site, with a large parking area/driveway behind imposing electric gates leading to a secluded country road on St. Ann's Hill. 

A proportion of the building is currently given over to a world-class recording studio which was originally built by Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera, a previous owner of the home, and is where many of the band's most celebrated tracks were recorded as well as work by numerous other notable artists including Paul Weller, Robert Wyatt and David Gilmour. During the refurbishment by the current owner, the studio section was redesigned by the renowned studio architect Roger D'Arcy of Recording Architects with a large live room and a spectacular control room. 

The property comprises seven generously sized bedrooms, providing ample space for family and guests to unwind and find tranquillity. Featuring two reception rooms, each offering a unique ambiance for social gatherings or intimate family evenings. The dining room provides an elegant space to host memorable dinner parties and create cherished moments with loved ones. For leisure and entertainment, a games room awaits, providing endless possibilities for fun and recreation. 

As an avid reader or a collector of knowledge, you'll be delighted by the presence of two libraries, offering a quiet sanctuary to immerse yourself in literature or work on personal projects. Additionally, two studies provide private spaces for productivity and reflection.
