Stirlingshire — £925,000
A handsome Georgian villa built in circa 1825, this property boasts five generous bedrooms and mature walled gardens, set within the desirable Kings Park Conservation Area.
Downstairs are three reception rooms, a bedroom suite and home office. The grand sweeping staircase then leads to four large bedrooms and bathrooms.
The property is in an establised residential area, a short walk to the centre of Stirling, King's Park and Stirling Golf Club.
For sale with Clyde Property. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.
Central London — £990,000
We tend to assume that £1m in the middle of London buys little more than a shoebox flat — and that's largely true if you want to live in, say, Covent Garden.
But it's not the case if you step just a few hundred yards out, as this lovely Lambeth home shows, just a short walk from Lambeth Bridge and Westminster just beyond.
This flat is part of a former school — a Grade II-listed building — that has been converted into apartments, of which this one has three bedrooms and two private roof terraces.
Inside it's been decorated in 1960s style, adding a real touch of old school cool to an otherwise ordinary 1,000 sq ft home.
For sale with Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.
Suffolk — £1,000,000
Effortless charm in this six-bedroom home in the village of Worlington, near Newmarket
Character features give a wonderful original feel to the place, such as the huge inglenook fireplace, with exposed brickwork, and the many gnarled old beams left on display.
Yet the place is also beautifully finished to modern standards — not least in the kitchen — and the gardens (including a huge greenhouse) make this a truly special gamily home.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.

West Sussex — £1,100,000
This handsome period property with views of the Arun Valley has five bedrooms, gardens and a paddock — exactly the sorts of things you hope to see in a list of the best £1 million houses.
Gardens are mostly laid to lawn and a stone wall separates an extensive parking area, at the end of which is a stone summer house.
To the west of the garden is a paddock, just shy of four acres and ideal for horses. In all, the land extends to 15.63 acres.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.

For sale with Savills. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.
