I think it's bizarre that the first internal photo is an 'arty' one of the downstairs loo!
And the whole ground floor has the feel of a trendy office block.

What an odd place.  The dimensions of the rooms are entirely out of proportion to their intended modern usages.  It would have been necessary in the 18th century, or whenever it dates from, as the place would have been a grand villa complete with servants quarters and would have hosted large social functions.  Nowadays, however, it feels far too grandiose for the rather prosaic purpose of accommodating a yuppie.  The modern furniture and grey bits and pieces are too small and too ordinary to live up to the surroundings.  Elsewhere they would be nice, but the sheer size of the place reduces them to insignificance.  I assume that whoever converted it would have been restricted by the listing criteria.  It's the opposite of a quart in a pint pot; more a fluid ounce in a forty gallon drum.  
I, for one, would not know what to do to make best use of a building like that.  I suspect the developer had the same problem; his ambitions were too small for the space on offer.  The decoration doesn't help.  All that monochrome heightens the sense of the furniture being a somewhat lonely island in the middle of a vast sea.

I don't think I could disagree more with the EA's description as "Extending to circa 216 square meters this unique home has a feeling of a “home within a home” "

Goodness, that enormous living area reminds me of our first flat (Mr S & I bought it from our then LL). That was a similar conversion (from a terrace of 19th century posh Bath-style town houses) though it wasn't quite as grand. Same arrangement though- huge living space with floor to (high) ceiling windows with balconies. It was fab for letting in light, but it was a pig to entertain in (you practically had to use semaphore to communicate with anyone at the other side of the room). I remember we had a vast and ancient sofa that we'd inherited from the LL, which was so big that we had to literally saw it in half to get it out and to the dump when we moved. The other rooms in the flat were positively pokey especially the second bedroom but we loved it at the time. Ah, happy days!

I love that. That could be really special if the new owners put some thought into how it is furnished.

I think the agent has mixed up some photos for survey/listing?!
Its owned by a national builder who's site adjoins/back on to
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88534546#/

Read the description - it states that the conservatory has structural problems which will need investigating, remedial works or demolishing.  I guess it's good that the people viewing are aware of the problems before they get to the survey stage.

Be interesting to know the history. I wonder if the enabling works for the site caused the issues which meant the builder bought the property and paid them out, or something else. 
Have you noticed the massive drain/culvert in the rear garden appears to be part of the property. Does the description say anything about a water feature in garden?!
