Kensington on Sea: live like ITV's The Durrells with a spectacular Corfu home

If ITV’s captivating new Sunday night drama The Durrells makes you yearn to fly out to the Corfu sunshine, a beautiful villa is for sale on the Greek island — for those who have nearly £2 million to spend.

The show, which stars Keeley Hawes, is based on British naturalist Gerald Durrell’s classic trilogy of Corfu childhood memoirs, including My Family and Other Animals.

In the island’s north-east corner — nicknamed Kensington on Sea because of the well-heeled Brits who buy and holiday there — CPA Corfu is marketing the luxurious villa for £1.97 million.

Overlooking the coast, it has five bedrooms, a terrace with spectacular views, and direct access to a pristine private beach at Avlaki.
