Our homes are often the first place people go to when they want to escape the outside world, and a great place at which to recharge and relax. A home that is both beautifully designed and fantastically located is every person’s dream, but for many relocating is not an option.

Most of us have in a period of our life dreamed of living on a picturesque property in a picturesque part of the world. We may have convinced ourselves that with enough money and the right connections this will one day be possible. But with property prices skyrocketing in recent years, it can feel like that dream will never be realized.
