A dreamy seaside bolthole, an equestrian paradise in Cheshire and a stylish pied-a-terre make our list this week.
Suffolk — £1,500,000
The sort of house you see while on holiday and think, ‘Ahh, wouldn’t it be lovely to live there?’ This is a four-bed gem right on the beach in Aldeburgh.
Light, airy and with wonderful views, it’s hard to imagine a nicer seaside home to escape to.

Traditional architecture meets ingenious modern ideas at this lovely 6-bedroom home a few miles outside Ilminster, with sleek lighting, stylish furniture and a cinema room blending well with the huge windows and high ceilings of this Victorian house.
The grounds are, if anything, even more of a draw, with lawns, secret gardens, a tennis court and an outdoor pool with a covered terrace area to one side.

Buckinghamshire — £3,250,000
Light, bright and spacious — the hallway alone swallows a grand piano with ease — this family house was once a Victorian vicarage adjoining the Chequers Estate.
Stables and a paddock make it ideal for horse lovers, while it also feels like a perfect house for those who like to entertain, with swimming pool, a party barn and much more.

Cheshire — £6,250,000
