A Grade II-listed 18th century watermill walking distance to the village of Clophill, with a detached one bedroom cottage, outbuildings, parking and over 6 acres of grounds.

Jersey — £12,500,000
A home with a 'virtually unrivalled coastal location', directly overlooking St Brelade's Bay, set off a privately owned approach roadway for perfect seclusion.

Surrey — £8,000,000
Runnymede Park is an 8,000sq ft home that is a fine example of a Grade I listed property that still retains the grandeur of a bygone era.
The house was designed by the great James Wyatt in the final years of the 18th century; by 1975 it was in a state of near-ruin, but the present owners embarked on a long restoration programme, to bring the property back from the brink.
For sale with Strutt & Parker. See more pictures and details for this property.
Islay — £2,750,000
Islay House is an A-listed property in 28 acres of grounds, overlooking its magnificent gardens and beyond to the coast and Rhinns mountains, with unparalleled sunset views.

For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Surrey — £16,500,000
Maybanks presents a superb opportunity for those seeking a property of immense character and charm, together with six more houses on the estate — but the vendors will split it all into lots if desired.
The main house has 10 bedrooms, and permission in place for both a swimming pool complex and stable block.
