Derbyshire, £2 million The Green Hall, Ashbourne 9 bedrooms, coach house, 69¾ acres Knight Frank (0121-362 7878)

Although the Green Hall dates from the William and Mary era, it was built on the site of an older house of which some vestiges remain, such as an early-Tudor stone-mullioned doorway. But every room has charming features, including a fireplace with a carved Adam marble surround in the drawing room.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
