Buckinghamshire — £3,100,000

Hampshire — £14,000,000
A fantastically rare opportunity to buy up over 1,000 acres of rolling land in Hampshire, not far from Winchester.

Lancashire — £975,000
As good a conversion as we've seen this year, this imposing detached character property was once an historic old school, and retains much of the charm and character.

West Yorkshire — £7,500,000
