Cornwall — £5m
What can we say? There are only four bedrooms, and the house barely surpasses 2,000sq ft even including the storage in the eaves. But as the old saying goes, location, location, location: it's a gorgeous house in a perfect spot on a stretch of land, Greenaway, immortalised by John Betjeman.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
Kent — £2.5m
The estate dates back 1,200 years — though the house itself is a mere baby, at around 450 — at Charlton Place, just six miles from Canterbury.
There's an amazing amount of history, from its usage in wartime and likely visits by Jane Austen to its years as a Dr Barnardo's home. Work to be done, but this is a magnificent place that deserves every penny that will be spent.
