Plans unveiled for stunning Grand Design in Solihull

Hedge House

One of the most spectacular houses to be built in the UK in recent years has gone on the market in Solihull.

Set on the outskirts of Knowle, Hedge House spans more than 10,000 sq ft. The two-storey dwelling is 55m (180 ft) in length – more than six double-decker buses – and 10m (33 ft) in width.

The imposing house, which showcases innovative and locally sourced materials, is set on a 6.5-acre site with far-reaching rural views.

The stunning property is being marketed off-plan, although the price has not been revealed.

The project is being bought to life by Birmingham-based property development company, 10M Group. Renowned architect David Sheppard who has received numerous awards (including the prestigious RIBA Stephen Lawrence award) developed the original plans and Birmingham-based BPN Architects is helping to realise the project in its latter stages.

Locally-sourced brick and larch felled by the Forestry Commission on Cannock Chase are central to the palette of the house.  Combining both modern and traditional craft with significant ceiling heights and glazing to create a light, airy house with a real sense of space.

The vast open ground floor has the benefit of a soaring 10m high internal glazed atrium and an internal garden bringing the outside in. With the ability to open the kitchen, atrium and lounge out on to the terrace and grounds beyond, via a fully glazed wall, the home boasts an impressive entertaining space.

The first floor is home to the master suite, benefiting from a dressing room and balcony with a hot tub looking out onto the rural landscape. The secondary suite accommodates a freestanding bath which overlooks the internal garden. There are three further en-suite bedrooms and a gym with both a sauna and balcony.

Russell Townsend, director, 10M Group, said: “Hedge House is the jewel in the 10M Group portfolio. It’s difficult to put the scale of Hedge House into words; its ceiling heights, floor space and layout make it a truly unparalleled proposition. This really is a remarkable and rare opportunity to invest in a truly unique home in a much sought-after area.”

The build is estimated to be completed by March next year.
