The Hamptons have been a byword for luxury for decades, largely thanks to grand homes such as this one. Here, the decadence starts before you even go through the front door, with the tree-lined garden playing host to a large swimming pool and a few loungers on which to soak up the sunshine.

Inside, the open-concept layout and wealth of windows mean that there's no shortage of natural light flowing about the space. The design throughout leans on the simple side, as seen with the wooden floors and white walls, but a few pieces of coastal artwork and some chic hanging lighting add some character. We're also fond of the basement media room that's the ideal place for gathering everyone together to catch the latest blockbuster.

When you fancy getting to know the local area a little better, you can be frolicking about on the seaside in just over five minutes' drive, while the shops and restaurants of East Hampton village are just as easily reached.

Home truths:
*There’s free parking for up to four cars on the driveway
*The swimming pool is typically available for use between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but please enquire with your host if you're visiting outside of these dates and wish to use the pool
*The lead guest must be at least thirty years old
*The home is spread over three floors, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
