Cornwall — £5m
What can we say? There are only four bedrooms, and the house barely surpasses 2,000sq ft even including the storage in the eaves. But as the old saying goes, location, location, location: it's a gorgeous house in a perfect spot on a stretch of land, Greenaway, immortalised by John Betjeman.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
