Known for his often simple but elegant works, ranging from oils to gouache and watercolours, Miller has been a household name in Cornwall since the 1970s.

Followers of Miller will be able to identify some of the inspirations for his works in the property, such as 'Beach' and 'Midsummer Day'.

Rankings shortly after his July 2002 death put Miller above the likes of Van Gogh and Picasso, with the property even including his former studio – now a two bed annex.

A 2003 survey by 'Art Business Today' listed Miller among the top four best-selling landscape artists of all genres.

Describing the property as "stunning," the estate agents say that with its own hot tub and conservatory, the two-floor property and outhouse is the ideal holiday home or retirement residence.

The house is also just a short walk from the West Cornwall Golf Course and village of Lelant.
