The listing on the firm’s website states: ‘Through an unsuspecting entrance, a fibreglass staircase sets a benchmark of creativity.

The company goes on to say of the main room on the property’s first floor: ‘The room’s centrepiece – a gilded slide – emerges from the ceiling, adding a playful touch to the industrial aesthetic.’
In addition, the main bedroom suite features ‘skylights and triple-aspect windows’ which ‘flood in natural light’.
Potential customers are also told: ‘Floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes enhance the room’s sense of space, while a large freestanding bathtub, set atop cool grey tiles, takes centre stage.
