A house on the coast, blue sky, sea

From a dramatic clifftop house featured on Grand Designs, to a hideaway with Treasure Island-inspired interiors, take a look inside some of the homes that captivated the nation in a big way over the last month.

1. A grand manor house with links to royalty

Set within 20 acres, 9-bedroom Luckington Court is built on the site of a manor that was once owned by King Harold II. Built from creamy Cotswold stone, the main house is set against lush surrounding greenery, while the grounds of this beautiful sprawling estate includes a tennis court, riding school and walled garden.

2. A fantastical hideaway in Stratford-upon-Avon

This other-worldly home takes inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous adventure novel Treasure Island. The 6-bed house is steeped in the Warwickshire countryside, with a mosaic-tiled pool and palm trees adding to the home’s seafaring theme, while the aquarium gives the illusion of being under the sea. There’s also a plush Art Deco-style cinema room and cocktail bar, as well as a giant chess board in the garden.
