Is this REALLY the best house in the world? It looks like a wartime bunker but this three-bed Oxfordshire home has been named number one by the architects' bible


 Described by the judges as having a 'rigid, rhythmic façade' and a 'challenging' design, the 'asymmetrical' property was completed in 2013

 Instead of a farmhouse kitchen or cosy living rooms like other country houses, this property is bare, simple and modern with a 'rigid façade'

 The property is owned by Mike Spink, an Oxfordshire-based multi-millionaire property tycoon who once spent £42million developing a country estate called Park Place near Henley-on-Thames before selling it to Russian billionaire Andrey Borodin for a record-breaking £140million 

 Although looking more like an industrial wartime bunker than a family house, the property has been crowned the best new home in the world
