Exhibiting the retro chic of a blue-and-white pool house on a grand scale, this home is all about summer living. Continuing the maritime theme, it's strewn with anchor cushions, wavy rugs and cosy white sofas while maintaining an effortless elegance. Cathedral-like sloping ceilings are punctuated with skylights, while sliding doors let in the sunshine, giving the open-plan living area a sense of the grandiose. When you're not warming up by the electric fire or swapping stories in one of the lounge areas, it's over to the marble-topped kitchen for light dinners on the reclaimed-oak table. Hot days are best spent out on the whitewashed decking, with feet dipped in the water, or under a parasol as someone fires up the barbecue.
