St Ann’s Court in Chertsey, Surrey, a Grade II-listed architectural gem, was designed in 1936 by Sir Raymond McGrath and has starred in TV series including Poirot.

Alexa Chung’s lookbook for her M&S collaboration was also shot there.

Part of the seven-bedroom house is used as a sound studio built by Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, a previous owner, and is where many of the band’s best-known tracks were recorded.

Made up of the modernist round house and a converted coach house, St Ann’s Court was commissioned by stockbroker Gerald Schlesinger with a bedroom that could be divided in two, so he could hide his then-illegal gay relationship with landscape architect Christopher Tunnard. The circular master bedroom’s full-height glazed doors lead to a private balcony overlooking Tunnard’s gardens.

It is listed with The Modern House for £9 million.
