Sandbanks House / Wendy and James Potts

Designed by Canadian architects and interior designers, Wendy and James Potts, this five-bedroomed house in Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset goes for the period route, with modernism just about winning the day.

Only just though, as I can see some art deco and midcentury inspiration too, not to mention a large chunk of the modern era (it was built in the 1990s). It’s a mixing pot, that’s for sure.

Of course, postcode and finish mean this isn’t cheap — £1,295,000 is the asking price — via WowHaus
