There are few final frontiers left in the country, so when we tell you there's an incredibly secluded island in an estuary just off the coast of Essex, we'll forgive you for being surprised. There's no bridge but you can arrive at Osea Island by car – if you catch the low tide, that is. The causeway that's revealed twice a day leads to a place that feels somehow otherworldly thanks to its remoteness. And this home suits its setting down to the ground, with an Arts & Crafts feel, and lots of comfy, rustic furnishings. Despite its location, you'll find it hard to get bored here. The little island shares a communal heated pool, croquet lawn, football pitch, tennis court and much more. Or just get outside and roam the acres of green space. It's every child's dream to explore their very own island.

About Essex

Despite being so close to London, Essex is a world apart. With rolling countryside that inspired Constable, one of Britain's greatest landscape painters, delightful seaside towns and a host of secret coastal islands, Essex surprises at every turn. Where else in the UK can you walk past Queen Elizabeth's hunting lodge in Epping Forest, enjoy a Michelin-starred lunch near Maldon (of sea salt fame), before spending your afternoon lounging in...
