A Dumfries & Galloway, £850,000
Built in 1884, B-listed The Old Lifeboat Station has been a four-bedroom house since the late 1990s, making the most of its extraordinary setting with its own slipway, direct access to the sea and panoramic views of Auchencairn Bay on the Solway Firth. Offered for sale with contents included, the unique property is accessed via a track off the main driveway of Balcary Tower and has six acres of woodland carpeted with bluebells every May. The gulf stream-warmed garden is popular with seabirds, garden birds, and a local family of red squirrels. 'Vibrant' Auchencairn is the nearest village and the market town of Castle Douglas is a 20-minute drive away. Galbraith (01556 505346)
West Sussex, £3 million
The largely glass beachfront elevation of four/five-bedroom Concord (pictured, centre) gazes straight over The Solent towards the Isle of Wight. The house stands in the coastal village of Bracklesham Bay, with a popular watersports beach and a much-lauded café, Billy's on the Beach.

True blues
I HAVE been planting English bluebells. They grow in their millions in the beechwoods that surround us—but not in our own garden. They are, however, a protected species. The law is clear and uncompromising: ‘It is illegal to dig up bluebells or their bulbs from the wild, or to trade or sell wild bluebell bulbs and seeds.’ I have, therefore, had to buy them from a respectable bulb-merchant.
