Buckinghamshire — £2.3 million
A seven-bedroom house near Aylesbury that pulls off the rare feat of being a relatively-new home (it was built in 1995) that looks like it could have been here for a century or more. That feeling is particularly strong as you stroll through the formal gardens.
Inside, there's a mix of the traditional, modern and dramatic, with the spiral staircase in the hallway a particular highlight.
For sale with Michael Graham. See more pictures and details for this property.
Waterside homes don't get any more watersidey than this breathtaking mansion with lawns running down to the Solent, and views across to the Isle of Wight.
And if you head inland? You're in the New Forest, with Beaulieu, Brockenhurst and Lymington all nearby. The house itself is a joy, too: built by Lord Montagu's father in 1914, it's a wonderful Arts-and-Crafts home that's been expertly restored in recent years.
