M+ Property: Homes of the Week in the City, Country & Coast for £900K
Whether you're actively house-hunting or simply indulging in a property scroll between meetings, this week's edit takes us from an elegant Regency townhouse moments from Brighton seafront, to a substantial Victorian villa in one of York's most desirable neighbourhoods, finishing with a grand Cornish manor house set within 42 acres of private estate grounds.
CITY: REGENCY TOWNHOUSE, BRIGHTON
Guide Price: £900,000
Bedrooms: 4 | Bathrooms: 2
For those dreaming of a move to the coast without sacrificing city life, this beautiful Regency townhouse offers the best of both worlds.
Positioned on one of central Brighton's most attractive streets, the four-bedroom home unfolds across four floors, balancing period grandeur with a calm, contemporary feel. The impressive entrance hall and sweeping staircase create an immediate sense of arrival, while the elegant bay-fronted reception room showcases many of the original Regency features that make Brighton's architecture so sought-after.
Downstairs, the lower ground floor has been thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home, with a generous kitchen and dining space opening directly onto a private courtyard garden. An additional garden room provides flexibility for home working, reading or simply escaping the bustle of family life.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms are spread across the upper floors, including a particularly lovely principal bedroom and a private roof terrace that catches the afternoon and evening sun.
With Brighton Station, the seafront and the city's independent cafés all within walking distance, this feels like coastal living with an urban edge.
COUNTRY: HOLLY LODGE, FULFORD, YORK
Guide Price: £850,000
Bedrooms: 7 | Bathrooms: 7
If you've ever dreamt of owning a grand Victorian home with enough space for every possible family configuration, Holly Lodge delivers in spades.
Dating back to the 1830s, this handsome Grade II-listed property extends to over 3,000 sq ft and occupies a prominent corner plot in Fulford, one of York's most established and desirable residential neighbourhoods. Currently arranged as a guest house, there is potential for reinstatement as a substantial family home, subject to the necessary permissions.
The scale here is impressive. Seven bedrooms, generous reception spaces, ample parking, a double garage and a private south-east-facing walled garden create the sort of flexibility rarely found so close to a historic city centre.
Fulford itself continues to be a favourite among families thanks to its strong schools, excellent amenities and easy access to York city centre and direct rail links to London.
For buyers seeking character, history and serious square footage, this is a compelling proposition.
COAST: TEHIDY PARK MANOR HOUSE, CORNWALL
Guide Price: Offers Over £900,000
Bedrooms: 7 | Bathrooms: 7
This week’s coastal pick feels less like a house and more like a country estate.
Set within 42 acres of private grounds at Tehidy Park, this remarkable Grade II-listed Neo-Palladian manor house combines period grandeur with an enviable Cornish lifestyle. The property includes a substantial five-bedroom residence alongside a recently refurbished two-bedroom self-contained annexe, making it ideal for multi-generational living, visiting guests or potential income opportunities.
Inside, the proportions are exactly what you'd hope for from a historic manor house: high ceilings, elegant rooms and a sense of scale that's difficult to find at this price point. Outside, a private entertaining terrace, garage and plentiful parking complete the package.
What makes this property particularly appealing is its location. Woodland walks begin on the doorstep, while Cornwall's coastline is within easy reach, creating the perfect balance between countryside tranquillity and coastal adventure.
A forever home, a family compound or an extraordinary weekend retreat — this one leaves plenty of room for imagination.
