Buckinghamshire — £3,100,000
A four-bedroom, converted chapel that comes with 20 stables and dozens of paddocks, as well as a manege and cross country facilities — pretty much the perfect equestrian property, in other words.

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

For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
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
