The Westcountry has always been a haven for old money, blue blood families and the nouveaux riches wishing to turn their City bonuses into their very own secluded waterside paradise.

And, as the Western Morning News has reported, other property ventures in the region reach multimillion figures.

The highest value farm sale in the South West this year has seen a 570 acre farm on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall change hands in a £5.5 million deal.

Penhallow, an extensive arable farm, with a five bedroom farmhouse, three bedroom annex, detached thatched cottage and 58 acres of coastal land was sold in recent weeks.

Here, the WMN takes a look at what other properties you could buy around the £5 million mark in the Westcountry.
