Inside the luxury £15k-a-month Cheshire rental house that's hidden underground

Home appears from street level to be nothing more than a small gatehouse  Three-bed subterranean property extends across a total of 3,639 square feet 

If you’re looking to go underground, this luxury rental in Cheshire that costs £15,000 a month may be just the ticket.

Away from prying eyes, the property appears from street level to be nothing more than a small glass gatehouse, not much bigger than a modern garden shed.

However, venture inside and you’re led down a contemporary sweeping staircase into the main living space of a spectacular designer three-bedroom house, which the estate agent has dubbed ‘James Bond-esque’.

This property in Cheshire's Altrincham is available to rent for £15,000 a month via Savills estate agents

At the centre of this subterranean home in the affluent area of Altrincham is the dining area with a substantial bar area and DJ booth.

It leads to a seating area with a large screen television and a separate area with a kitchen and central island.

There are three bedrooms found on the outer edge of this circular lower ground level, with one of the bedrooms leading out to a terrace and another with a skylight.

Tom Burke, of Savills, said : ‘This striking and contemporary energy-efficient home presents a truly unique opportunity to live in a property like no other.

‘Almost completely hidden from view beneath circular gardens, it is a secret bolthole which reveals itself behind electric gates and beneath a glass gatehouse.

‘I’ve never before been in such a James Bond-esque house, accessed via a vehicle lift and underground drive-in garage, the property has been impeccably designed with state-of-the-art appliances, technology and amenities, including a spectacular entertaining area, bar, DJ booth and hot tub to provide a light-filled, yet private luxury home.’
