Homes by the Sea

In the first episode, Charlie travels to the far north-west of Scotland and the dramatic island of Lewis and Harris, where he visits a modern thatched home shaped like a giant letter S. He also sees an eco-barn inspired by a chicken coop; a chapel that's been converted into an artist studio and house; and a once-derelict Highland white house that's been lovingly restored. Finally, Charlie visits a contemporary broch, a variation on the ancient stone watchtowers that dot the landscape of the island.

Charlie Luxton heads to one of the birthplaces of the classic British holiday resort: Sussex. The tour starts in Eastbourne and continues to a luxury mansion in Aldwick, close to Bognor Regis. He visits a quirky bohemian cottage in Cuckmere Haven that's off the grid and an upside down house in Shoreham. There's also a striking cafÚ in Littlehampton, the fisherman's huts of Hastings, and a stylish pad in St Leonards, including a circular bed.

Charlie Luxton heads for Anglesey in Wales. Charlie explores the engineering epic that is the Menai Bridge, which connects Anglesey with the Welsh mainland. There is also a smuggler's cottage; a working lighthouse that's also a family home; and a contemporary cliff-side home with awesome views of the mountains of Snowdonia.

In Southport, he meets an RSPB ranger on the marshlands, and an astonishing kit home overlooking the coastal links of Royal Birkdale golf club.
