The amenities of St George's Hill are world famous, but in case you need a refresher: one of the finest tennis clubs in England, a championship-standard golf course and 900 private acres of communal countryside. A golfer's paradise.

The ace of space. Invertrossachs Country House is a considerable Edwardian residence of some 17,000sq ft in the heart of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.

Suffolk — £9,000,000
The original site of Martley Hall in Easton was recorded in the Domesday Book, but thankfully the current house is a bit newer than that. A grand family home of six bedrooms set in 220 acres, this is a chance to own one of Suffolk's finest equestrian estates.

Northamptonshire — £1,250,000
They say good things come in small packages. This five-bedroom home in Wicken might be the perfect example. Underneath that elegant stone interior is something rather special.
These interiors. Crisp, clean and astoundingly contemporary with just enough period touches throughout. Highlight has to be the garden room, or the kitchen with the bi-fold doors

Shropshire — £4,000,000
The rather imposing Bettisfield Park is a Grade II*-listed Georgian country house set in lovely gardens and grounds of some 3.75 acres with surrounding parkland views.
The real highlight, though, is the astoundingly grand interiors. You will struggle to find finer plasterwork in a private country home. One for the architectural purists.

Buckinghamshire — £5,500,000
Riverside living is the dream for many, and I can struggle to think of a better dream house than Doannee in Bray, with its sensational position on the Thames.
With six bedrooms, this Edwardian masterpiece has been extensively restored and enhanced by its current owners. Bray, of course, is bursting with amenities, not least the Michelin-starred restaurants within walking distance.
For sale with Hamptons. See more pictures and details for this property.
London — £29,500,000
It's difficult to get bang for your buck in London, but this seven-bedroom home in Mayfair is a very good effort indeed.
