Walking out your front door onto the beach is a novelty you'll never tire of at this Victorian period apartment perched right along Seaford's Esplanade.

For all the apartment's period grandeur and charm (think soaring ceilings and original wooden flooring), the apartment is expertly reimagined for modern living. There's a log burner fireplace for chiller evenings, lighting fast Wifi for those working remotely (if you must), and heaps of contemporary style with unique artwork and an array of houseplants bringing the space to life.

But it's the uninterrupted sea views taking all the glory here – best seen from the living room's bay window, savouring a freshly brewed morning coffee from the pod machine. Or grab a deck chair and nip over the road to the beach to decamp for a while. It's an afternoon well spent with its gently sloping shores, colourful beach huts, artisan ice cream sellers, and playground nearby.

Away from the beach, Seaford's pace of life is much slower than its party cousin, Brighton (half an hour drive along the coast). Spend days hiking over the South Downs (or, for the adventurous, parasailing) and exploring the nearby charming Sussex villages of Alfriston and East Dean (both just a ten-minute drive). Or stay local in Seaford to mooch about its galleries and shops. Just be sure to make it home for dusk – the sunset views are spell bounding.

Seaford Rocks

Placing you right in the heart of Warfield, this home provides a practical yet cosy space from which to explore the Berkshire countryside. There are forest walks and cycle trails within easy reach, while it’s just a five-minute drive to the shops and restaurants of the Lexicon – a great option for family entertainment. At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on a pull-out bed which might not be ideal for longer stays, but it has all the other essentials you could need for everyday comfort. We like the little garden – a great spot for summer evening drinks. 

Joy & Ease

Located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the grounds of a 50-acre estate, this detached oast house overlooks fields and paddocks from its southwest-facing terrace and lawned garden. You may spot the local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls. If you have children with you, though, a fenced-off pond is nearby, so they'll need to be supervised. Inside, there's a log burner for cosy nights in and a charming circular main bedroom. It would be tempting to spend all your time here, wouldn't it? But that would be a shame as Bewl Water is a ten-minute stroll away, pretty Tunbridge Wells is a twenty-minute drive, and Camber Sands is a forty-minute ride.

The Old Oast House

Occupying the top two floors of this former Victorian photographer's studio is a light-filled, contemporary space that's perfect for anyone looking to explore the South Downs. From here, you can enjoy all the benefits of easy access to everything you need, with the tranquillity of a rural setting. Your hosts have designed the entire apartment with the needs of their guests in mind. The three individually decorated, stylish bedrooms offer luxurious accommodation for up to six people on the first floor. Plus, there's a sofa bed in the studio for an additional two guests. The top floor is more vibrant, with bold colours and eye-catching design, including what we would usually call floor-to-ceiling windows, except these ones take over half of the roof as well. The kitchen is equipped with everything the savvy chef might need to rustle up delicious group dinners. Step onto the streets of the historic market town of Petworth, and you'll find antique shops, cafes and the National Trust Petworth House and Park. Slightly further afield, you're a mere twenty minutes from glorious Goodwood – famous for its historic racetrack and Festival of Speed – and half an hour from the coast at Climping. There are so many events locally that it's well worth a bit of research before you arrive.

The Photographer's Studio

Initially built in 1914, this exquisitely renovated home boasts a storied past as a former schoolhouse. It's brimming with character, promising old-school school charm from the outset with its stately red-brick facade. Positioned in the historic market town of Godalming, just a three-minute drive (fifteen-minute walk) from the town centre and a thirty-minute drive from the South Downs National Park, it offers an idyllic base for exploring Surrey's breathtaking natural beauty.

A masterclass in colour theory, the interior exudes an artisan ambience with its vibrant aesthetic, art-clad walls and eclectic array of stylish decor and vintage touches. Crittall doors usher in floods of sunlight while offering perpetual glimpses of the leafy exterior, and we love the open-plan living space. With its free-flowing layout and contemporary comforts, including an equipped farmhouse-style kitchen, it's primed for relaxation. Here, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors reveal the patio. After a restful night's sleep in the sumptuous bedrooms, step outside and sip your morning coffee here, awakening from your slumber to birdsong and the symphonic rustling of leaves. 

This home's beautifully equipped half acre of grounds beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. The lush garden is nestled in a cocoon of dense foliage and pruned-to-perfection hedgerows, promising privacy. We especially love the swimming pool. Bordered by plush sun-loungers and a summerhouse, it's a lovely space for relaxing come rain or shine. After a day of adventure or simply lounging poolside, fire up the rustic barbecue for a delicious alfresco feast before a night of board games beside the crackling fireplace.

Ink & Parchment

Just a five-minute walk from the picture-perfect village of Shere in the Surrey Hills, this place is a much-loved family home. Set in five acres of private grounds, with views across the rolling hills, it's bound to be a hit with lovers of the great outdoors, with excellent hiking and cycling routes from your door. A substantial period house approached via a sweeping drive, it's a slice of rural living on a grand scale – there's everything from an outdoor pool and tennis court to a vast vegetable garden and free-range hens. And children will love the sunken trampoline.

Inside, elegant styling, country furnishings and eclectic artwork blend to create a lived-in, warm feeling. A beautiful living room and snug both feature working fireplaces and the kitchen is extremely well-equipped when it comes to cooking for a large group (yes, there really are two dishwashers). You can even cook alfresco meals down at the pool house. But its most impressive room has to be the orangery, where a long dining table is the star of the show, against a backdrop of vast windows and doors with spectacular views.

Perfect for special gatherings, and with a new yoga studio, it's also a flexible space with an additional cottage and a garden studio that can be rented alongside it. And when you're not entertaining, the village, with its tea shop and pretty church, is just a stroll through the fields – one of the most scenic villages in England, you may recognise it as one of the locations where the movie The Holiday was filmed.

Green on My Mind

A five-minute walk from Brook’s rugged coastal path and golden beach, the fresh sea air is never far from this isolated cottage. In a huge old farmhouse-style building, your quarters have tons of countryside character. Timber beams support the high vaulted ceilings, warm wooden flooring can be found throughout, and original, rustic barn-like doors keep things traditional. That said, every modern convenience is available, although some have a vintage edge like the red Smeg fridge. Leisure certainly hasn’t been forgotten about either, with board games and an outdoor play area to keep the whole family entertained. While the little ones romp in the garden, relax on the patio with a pot of tea. And when dinnertime strikes, you can light up the barbecue to dine alfresco on a balmy summer evening. As the home is located in the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (one of only forty-six such spots in the UK), the prized landscape is exceptional for walking, fossil hunting, and windsurfing. But if you do fancy something a little more urban, the island’s main town of Cowes is just a twenty-five-minute drive.

Palomino Cottage

Designed by the owner who works as a professional interior designer, the vibe of this home merges contemporary comforts with quirky vintage kitsch, inviting guests into a unique space that escapes the mundane. The maximalist aesthetic retains many ornate Victorian features, while the home's furnishings carefully combine bold colours with rich textures. From the ruby red velvet couches to the olive green walls of the kitchen and dining space – this home presents bags of character inspired by the laid-back bohemian surroundings of the locale in Southsea.

Enjoy quiet moments outside on the stoned patio terrace garden – the outdoor seating provides the perfect setting for a warm cup of tea after a seaside walk over to Southsea Common, only a nine-minute stroll away. Positioned just one mile away from Gunwharf Quays and its outlet shopping, an abundance of shops, eateries and the cinema – there's plenty to keep you occupied when staying in this part of Portsmouth. After a day of shopping or relaxing on the beach, complete your quintessential British seaside experience by picking up some fresh fish and chips to serve up at the dining table, or if the weather is being kind – at the alfresco dining area in the garden. 

Ruby Woo

This address might look effortlessly stylish on the surface, but look a little closer and you'll find that all the home comforts are present and correct. In the living room, for instance, there's a log-burner that you can get crackling while you loll about on the plush sofas facing the warmth. Up in the master bedroom — itself painted in a sultry tone of navy blue — there's an eye-catching copper bathtub that will have you scheduling a long uninterrupted soak into your itinerary. The rest of the house is dotted with house plants — especially in the light and airy kitchen-dining room — but if you want a bit more horticulture, head out into the private patio space, which is lined with flourishing beds and potted foliage. There's plenty of seating out here for taking full advantage of bursts of unseasonable weather, as well as a barbecue in case you're truly lucky. Even better is the fact that Chichester's main landmarks are within such easy walking distance. The Cathedral takes five minutes to reach, as does the town's castle.

Courtyard Breakfast

Dating back to the 1800s, this Grade II-listed barn is now a comfortable home-from-home. Underfloor heating keeps toes warm for visits during the cooler months, and the indoor climbing wall and gym equipment will keep active types occupied. When the sun does shine, there’s a dining table and chairs on the decking for alfresco lunches. The Chiltern Hills are on the doorstep, and the Black Lion pub is a fifteen-minute walk away. If you’d like to swap the countryside for some hustle and bustle, High Wycombe is reached in less than twenty minutes by car.


Chilterns Charm

If you like horses, we've found the place for you. Standing on a working equestrian farm, this charming lodge overlooks a paddock – a perfect spot to look over as you enjoy a few glasses of wine at the alfresco table. Indoors, the wood stove will keep you feeling snug during colder months, while the large sliding doors let you open the space up in summer. Feeling thirsty? You'll find a village pub a short stroll away here. And a brief drive will bring you to Hurtwood Park and Polo Club, with plenty of facilities and events to keep you entertained.

The Old House

Tucked in the woods just outside the village of Cranleigh, this beautiful home welcomes you to a rural retreat at the base of the Surrey Hills.

Located on the grounds of a home that once belonged to an Arborist, this charming Annexe has been thoughtfully designed to fill your stay with luxurious comfort. And just like the natural beauty of its surroundings, there’s an uplifting quality to this space – it’s the kind of home that makes you want to unpack your bags and settle in. 

From cosy mornings with a coffee on the sofa to energising workouts in the gym, there’s everything you could need here to feel rejuvenated. Days can be spent exploring the beautiful gardens, meeting the resident chickens and following one of the hiking trails into the Surrey countryside. The lovely village of Cranleigh is within walking distance and has all the amenities you could need. 

With your bags full of fresh local produce, you’ll love coming home to this sanctuary in the trees. Put on a playlist, light up the barbecue and enjoy the magic of this unique setting.
