M+ Property: Homes of the Week in the city, country and coast
Whether you’re actively house-hunting or simply indulging in a scroll between meetings, this week’s edit moves from a characterful Clerkenwell apartment to a grand Georgian home overlooking Harrogate’s Stray, finishing with a coastal house just moments from the sand in Boscombe.
CITY: PERIOD APARTMENT, CLERKENWELL, EC1R
Price: £995,000
Tenure: Leasehold
Property type: Character Apartment
Bedrooms: 2 | Bathrooms: 1
Size: 920 sq ft
Set across the top two floors of a handsome period building, this Clerkenwell apartment blends classic character with a clean, modern finish.
The living space is bright and well-proportioned, with a sense of calm that feels slightly removed from the energy of central London. A stylish kitchen sits alongside an inviting reception room, creating an easy flow for both everyday living and entertaining.
Two generous double bedrooms offer flexibility, whether for guests, working from home or growing into, while retained period details give the space a sense of warmth and identity.
A rare bonus in this part of London, residents also have access to a communal garden — a welcome pocket of green in an otherwise urban setting.
Chadwell Street sits quietly in the heart of Clerkenwell, with Exmouth Market, Sadler’s Wells and Farringdon’s excellent transport links all within easy reach.
COUNTRY: GEORGIAN HOUSE, GRANBY ROAD, HARROGATE
Guide Price: £1,000,000
Bedrooms: 5 | Bathrooms: 4
Size: 3,300 sq ft
Overlooking the famous Harrogate Stray, this double-fronted Georgian home offers both scale and elegance in equal measure.
From the moment you enter, the sense of space is unmistakable. A grand hallway, complete with a sweeping staircase, sets the tone for the rest of the house, where high ceilings, original detailing and generous proportions run throughout.
There are multiple reception rooms, including a formal sitting room with a marble fireplace and a separate dining room made for long, relaxed gatherings. The kitchen, centred around a restored AGA, feels both practical and inviting — very much the heart of the home.
Upstairs, five double bedrooms provide flexibility for family life, guests or working from home, while the top floor offers a more private retreat, ideal for older children or visiting family.
Outside, the walled garden and off-street parking add to the appeal, while the Stray itself offers an immediate connection to green space. It’s a house that feels both rooted in history and entirely liveable.
COAST: DETACHED CHARACTER HOME, BOSCOMBE MANOR
Guide Price: £1,000,000
Tenure: Freehold
Property type: Detached
Bedrooms: 5 | Bathrooms: 3
Just 500 metres from the beach, this beautifully presented home offers coastal living with a sense of space and practicality.
The ground floor is thoughtfully laid out, with separate living and dining rooms, a conservatory opening onto the garden and a versatile study or snug. The kitchen and breakfast room sits at the centre of the house, designed for everyday family life.
Upstairs, four bedrooms occupy the first floor, while the top floor is dedicated to a generous principal suite with its own dressing space, ensuite and elevated views towards the coastline.
The garden is a real highlight — large, level and south-facing, with mature planting and space to relax, entertain or work from the summer house. With two garages, ample parking and no onward chain, it’s a home that feels as practical as it is appealing.
Moments from the beach yet within easy reach of Bournemouth and its transport links, it offers the best of both coastal escape and everyday convenience.
