Ten wonderful country houses for sale, as seen in Country Life
From commutable farmhouses to a Georgian masterpiece of astonishing splendour, here's our pick of the best houses to hit the market via Country Life this week.

Hampshire — £3,950,000
What was once the hunting lodge of the Duke of Albemarle is now a nine-bedroom home set in 50 acres of Hampshire.
The buildings and grounds are in fine shape, while the inside — according to the agent — has been 'prepared for a personal internal design concept'... by which they mean gutted and stripped back to plain flooring and walls.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Shropshire — £4,000,000
This Georgian masterpiece, as it stands today, was shaped mostly by Samuel Wyatt in the 18th century — the man who built the Pantheon on Oxford Street.
The rooms are on a truly epic scale, while there are plenty of mod cons: games room, indoor pool and a wine cellar.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
Devon — £3,500,000
If ever a view from the front door could sell a house, it's at this wonderful 18th century home near Tiverton.
