From the front this house seems a small, unspectacular home with not much space, but inside it reveals much deeper layers.
The home has a large underground floor that has two bedrooms, a garage/gym, a bathroom and utility that can be accessed via a secret driveway creating an iceberg house style.
The modern house has been put up for sale for £700,000 and we take you on a tour through this unusual property.

Upon entering this house via its smart door fitted with finger print recognition, removing the need for keys, lower floors are apparent showing a much larger underground living space.
The lower floors are accessed via a metallic stairway leading to a second hallway.
In the lower floors there are two ceramic floor bedrooms, a bathroom suite, a utility room and an under stair storage area. The current owner also made sure there is a smart TV in the bathroom, positioned so it can be watched while soaking in the bath, as well as privacy glass in the windows.
