A modernist glass mansion featured on Channel 4’s “Grand Designs” is being marketed for £5 million. The property is a six-bedroom detached house on a gated estate near Orpington, Kent, with a reported floor area of over 6,949 sq ft.
The listing follows the home’s television exposure in 2011, when presenter Kevin McCloud described the building as resembling a “university research centre.” The Daily Mail frames the house as a controversial architectural example and highlights its size, location, and the price being sought.
Across the available sources, the reported details are consistent: the same “Grand Designs” appearance, the Orpington-area location on a gated estate, the six-bedroom configuration, the approximate size, and the £5m asking price. No additional outlets are provided here offering alternative figures or new developments, so context and differing angles are limited to the Daily Mail’s emphasis on the architectural comparison and the property’s market listing.
