House hunters looking for a little luxury and something different may have a garden sauna on their property wish list.
With the latter part of this year’s summer being damper and cooler than many would like, Britons could be forgiven for favouring a sauna over an outdoor pool.
The good news is that, while they can occupy the grounds of million-pound houses, saunas can also be found in the gardens of more modest homes.
We pick three homes for sale with garden saunas for different budgets.

The selected properties for sale have asking prices that range from £240,000 to £1.75million.
Daniel Copley, of Zoopla, said: ‘After an unseasonably cool start to August, a garden sauna is likely to be the more appealing option to many Brits who would normally favour a swimming pool as their outdoor luxury of choice.
‘A sauna can also be a better investment as it can be enjoyed all year round, whereas a pool is likely to only be used in the summer months.’
