Designed by John Outram, the Egyptian-style postmodernist house was completed in 1999, making it the youngest listed building in the United Kingdom.

[2] The symmetrical two-storey structure has barrel-vaulted roofs reminiscent of the funerary complex of Djoser in Saqqara and is crowned by an attic storey which resembles a giant Eye of Horus.

The exterior features columns with tartan pattern tiling along the base and black capitals topped with terracotta circles, representing the hieroglyph for the rising sun.

They wanted a house which would reflect their shared interest in Ancient Egypt and hoped for a plot near a river to fit the Egyptianate theme.

[6] The property was sold in December 2022 for £2.3 million, which led to the Twentieth Century Society (C20) applying for the building to be listed to restrict any "unsympathetic alteration or demolition" to the house.
