In a village near Alresford, a wonderful opportunity to own a country house — originally an 18th century rectory — within glorious grounds.

For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Cornwall — £1,650,000
A wonderful 19th century home near the Pandora Inn with views over Restronguet Creek.

Hertfordshire — £2,000,000
An extraordinary medieval house which has grown with the centuries but still retained many of its original features — not least an incredible entrance hall and grounds which still have remnants of a moat.
Six bedrooms and sevn acres of land make this a grand country house, yet it's close to the town of Hitchin, with easy access to the A1 and a fast train service that gets to King's Cross in half an nour.
For sale with Michael Graham. See more pictures and details for this property.
Hampshire — £7,950,000
A spectacular amalgamation of old school charm and modern design in this mini-estate of 19 acres in the South Downs, a little to the east of Winchester.

For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
Suffolk — £3,800,000
If exposed brick and timber is your idea of a great country house, you've come to the right place: this five-bedroom home near Bury St Edmunds has more of both than we can remember seeing in years.
The gardens are a real highlight as well, with an outdoor pool, kitchen garden, greenhouse, a separate cottage and superb equestrian facilities.
For sale with Strutt & Parker. See more pictures and details for this property.
Warwickshire — £2,950,000
Sitting almost in the shadow of the village church, this is a seven-bedroom family house dating back a couple of hundred years.
