Greatest homes: luxury houses

A million pounds can get you a lot of home, but go past that mark and find pure luxury

When searching for a home there is always a dream list of what we’d really like; a swimming pool perhaps, lots and lots of bedrooms, a detached property, to live out of town or to live slap bang in the centre of things – the list goes on. This week we have a look at properties currently on the market at over one million pounds and savour the wish lists fulfilled – bliss.
