Sitting proud on a cliff overlooking the sea, Shambala is a quite astonishing Japanese-style home in the vibrant coastal town of Gourock.
The location is as outstanding as the home, with perfect sunsets and a secluded, private plot. Glasgow, less than 30 miles away, is within easy reach by both road and rail, making this an easily commutable house.

The former Queen Margaret's School in Escrick, a few miles south of the centre of York, has come on to the market.

But with 68,500 sq ft of space in the main house, plus further teaching blocks, dormitories and sporting facilities that include two swimming pools, the potential is astonishing.
For sale at around £5 million — see more details.
Perthshire — £2.2 million
