The well-known property, on Ashfurlong Road in Dore, is reminiscent of a seaside mansion in a Costa Del Sol travel guide with its magnificent arches, balconies and swimming pool.

Built in the 1970s, the five-bedroom house was once nicknamed ‘Costa Bomb’ by a mischievous former owner – a sign even spelled out the humorous title, but this was taken down when the place changed hands some years ago.
