Bluff House, Evening Hill, Dorset, £5,500,000
The epitome of Art Deco seaside style, local landmark Bluff House has sweeping views across Poole Harbour towards Brownsea Island. There are balconies galore, and most rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the incredible panoramas. As well as enormous circular entertaining spaces, perfect for an elegant soirée, the house is packed with mod cons that Downton Abbey inhabitants could only dream of, including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, drop-down cinema screen, gym and even a ‘lockdown bar’ in the front garden (cue look of disapproval from Carson!) There’s also a private gate leading down to the beach or the harbour should one fancy a dawn or dusk meander.
