You could really impress your pals by taking them to the watch tower, offering them rum on the top deck or make them walk the plank ARRRRRR

Some people buy a pool table, others build a bar - you could have your very own pirate ship. If you're willing to part with £1.25 million, that is.

The country retreat with a difference could be yours and, in addition to the unique feature, it also boasts five bedrooms, twelve acres of grounds and eleven stables - what a find.

The real highlight is quite obviously the property's pirate ship complete with it's treasure island and lake.

The ship is set over two decks and even has its own watch tower, cabin and even a BBQ and bar.

The ship was built by a previous owner as a party venue for children and adults.

Julia Boehn from Andrew Grant Country Homes who are selling the property said: "It was bespoke hand built by the current owners, the pond came first, and they then decide to add the ship.

"It has bit used for kids and adults' parties as contains a BBQ area and bar. The ship is half in the water and half on land.

"It's suited to someone with an interest in horses or an equestrian. It also has good commuter links. Current owners run a livery yard.

"The property boasts 12 acres and 11 stables which can accommodate 6 horses. The house has been on the market for 3 weeks."

If pirate ships aren't really your thing maybe a relocation is on the cards because the house from iconic gangster series The Sopranos is up for sale.

According to The New York Times, you could be waking up early and feeding the baby ducks - preferably without the panic attacks, of course.

But if you want this piece of television history, you'll have to fork out $3.4m (around £2.6m).

In a neighbourhood where the average home is valued at around $1.5m (£1.2m), the asking price is pretty ambitious, but current owners Patti and Victor Recchia believe their home has undeniable star quality.

The house in New Jersey was used to film the hit mob series.

Speaking to the newspaper, Mr Recchia said: "Those things can be quantified but I don't think you can quantify the intrinsic value of this home."

And to be fair, he kind of has a point. While a replica of the home's interior was built in a studio, the pilot episode of the mob series was all filmed in the real-life house, and crews returned every season to film exterior shots.

Since then, plenty of die-hard fans have made the trip to visit the sprawling mansion.
