We love period properties and the ladies in the office also love Marks & Spencer's, so we were rather delighted to find that the beautiful Edwardian mansion in East Sussex, which featured in the retailer's summer campaign, has come on the market... albeit for a slightly out of reach £5million.

The Rye Country mansion overlooks some of the most beautiful stretches of countryside and coastline in the UK, and with 10 bedrooms and five bathrooms, there's plenty of room for a spot of country entertaining at the manor.

The mansion, which is set in four acres of land, was originally a wedding present from Captain AAR Hennessy, the French cognac magnate, to his young bride, and is currently run as a B&B and wedding venue (saltcote.co.uk).
