Summer is on the way, and its anticipated arrival brings daydreams of sunshine and seaside. Which, as is often the way of such daydreams, has got us window-shopping on Primelocation.com for some of the best houses for summer living. This time, the search has focused on island homes. The British summer might be short, but these homes should help you make the most of every minute the sun keeps shining.

Here are our pick of the best island homes on the market…

Isle of Man

One of the most historic houses on the island, Lorne House was formerly the Governor’s residence. Situated in an elevated, waterside position in the heart of historic Castletown, the house overlooks the marina and bay. It spans 16,000 sq ft, has eight bedrooms and six reception rooms.

Guernsey

This house is more than just an impressive façade. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom main house has recently undergone a no-expense-spared refurbishment. The 25 acres of grounds also house another three-bedroom property as well as staff/guest accommodation in the courtyard behind.

Alderney

Another newly refurbished property, this classical Georgian mansion is situated in the heart of St Anne on the Channel Islands’ Alderney. The six-bathroom, six-bedroom Les Mouriaux House is just eight miles from mainland France.
