This brutalist home in the UK’s Gloucestershire is characterised by sleek horizontal lines and solid concrete blocks.

Outhouse – on the market with The Modern House for £2.895m – has been built into a hillside in the Wye Valley by practice Loyn and Co.

The low-lying three-bedroom property features a green roof that sits flush with the meadow. Linear glazed panels sit between concrete floors and ceilings, opening up the house and filling it with light.

Elsewhere, vast skylights spill light into the long hallway of the countryside home – shortlisted for the 2016 RIBA House of the Year award – which divides it into two parts.

Beloved Cotswolds folly heads to auction with a guide-price of £12k
