Step forward Maldon&#8217;s Osea Island, a snip at £25 million (what else do you think you&#8217;d pay for a 90 bedroom space?). It&#8217;s stunning – and can be your very own private dwelling only 40 miles from central London. There&#8217;s 38 residential properties along with more development potential, plus an established hospitality and entertainment business waiting to snap up.

Lying (do islands lie?) on the shores of the River Blackwater, it&#8217;s also rich in history, with evidence from the Viking, Norman and Roman eras. Ooo and during WWI it was also the secret naval base ‘SS Osea’ – and was also referenced in WWII. Cool, aye?
