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.

Clashing colours
MINIATURE electric-pink ears are emerging through a tapestry of leaves and bare brown ground. It is January and this is the first wonder of the gardening year. Cyclamen coum also come in paling shades from the plush of ruby to snow white. However, my gardening partner and husband covets only the deepest magenta flowers, combing plant nurseries and DIY shops for the most colour-saturated flowers wriggling through the pots and trays of small heart-shaped leaves. He remarks on the energy of these miniature enamel beauties and says he finds it strengthening. He is, however, not a purist collector and, although he loves to set these garnets on a velvety ground under trees when planting these small corms, he also loves creating swathes of them in grass and beds, all muddled up with snowdrops and winter aconites. Snowdrops, yes, any time, but yellow aconites, Eranthis hyemalis, with puce cyclamen? Really? I, too, rejoice in the fringe of first green the aconites bring, that little lion's mane of chrome, but I recoil rather at the brassy cocktail of lemoncello aconites with the cherry brandy-coloured C. coum, except perhaps in a jug indoors. Isn't this rather sickly? Mr B feels strongly that it all helps to brighten up the dull days of February.
