Demand for homes in Cornwall has been ramping up since the start of the Covid pandemic as remote working and staycations stoked a property boom in the coastal county.
Average house prices in the region increased by four percent between April 2021 to March 2022, compared to just a one percent increase nationwide.
And figures show that last year there was a 198 per cent increase in properties priced at £1m or more that were trading hands in Cornwall, according to research by estate agent Savills.
It comes amid reports that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay sold one of his lavish houses in Trebetherick for £7.5 million - believed to be the most expensive sale ever recorded in the county.
Mr Ramsay sold the property for £3.5million more than he purchased it for in 2016, Cornwall Live reported yesterday.
Following the publication of details of Ramsay's multi-million pound property deal, MailOnline has used data from property website Zoopla and Rightmove to uncover the most expensive Cornish properties on the market right now.
