Five outstanding properties, from 3,000 acres in Wales to Robert Plant's old home, as seen in Country Life
We take a look at some of the best houses to come to the market via Country Life in the past week.


Buckinghamshire — £4.5 million
Listed Grade II, nestled in picturesque Dorney Village and with 10 bedrooms in total, there is much to love about 17th century Boveney Court.
A great location, for a start, beautiful gardens and grounds and a full refurbishment all elevate this delightful property into a standout family home that's just down the road from one of the country's best schools.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Three cottages, farmland, woodland and a wealth of natural capital. That's the dream at the Nannau estate near Dolgellau. At 3,784 acres, here is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most significant holdings in the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.

Is there anything prettier than an ivy-clad home bursting with exterior colour? We don't think so, and The Argoed — a seven-bedroom home in the Wye Valley — is a sublime example.
Visited by Charles I during the Civil War, the home is steeped in a wealth of former owners, including Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, and Beatrice Webb of the Fabian Society. The interiors and living spaces are sublime.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Hope House is a 'distinguished family home in a highly sought after village,' says lead agent Lindsay Cuthill. We are inclined to agree. A picture-postcard of Englishness in East Coker, the property offers seven bedrooms and more than two acres of splendid gardens. Divine.
For sale with Blue Book. See more pictures and details for this property.
We love a home with endless potential. Step forward Aldsworth House near Emsworth. Already on offer are nine bedrooms, outstanding period interiors, stunning gardens, a swimming pool, fives court, an engine house (for all your engine needs) and a coach house. From there, the world is your oyster.
For sale with Strutt & Parker. See more pictures and details for this property.

Uniquely unique? The Yorkshire grain silos transformed into a home that's a symphony in glass, steel and curves
Amid the beautiful countryside of North Yorkshire, on the edge of the Castle Howard Estate, The Silos is a property for which the word 'house' simply doesn't cut it. And that's not the only way in which it's made us throw out the dictionary.
