Whilst we often focus on property in England’s capital, most of the real gems lie in the heart of the country. Everyone knows that houses in London are pricey to say the least, and if you’re looking to invest big then you’ll need some serious clout to get anywhere. Head anywhere north of the Big Smoke though and the prices start to dip and you get so much more for your money. Here are 5 country houses for sale we wished we owned.
Market Cross, Wilshire
This Grade I listed Tudor property is situated in the centre of Malmesbury, with beautiful sculpted gardens and more rooms than you can shake a stick at.
£3,500,000 from Savills
Thurland Castle, Lancashire
As grand as they come, this country castle boasts ten acres of land as well as a moat, tennis court and large double garage.
£995,000 from Savills
Whitestaunton, Somerset
A picturesque mansion located in Whitestaunton near the 13th century Church of St Andrews, this is, quite frankly, where it’s at.
£6,250,000 from Savills
Hethfelton House, Dorset
A tree-lined drive takes you up to the mammoth frontage of this ‘well-appointed’ country house. It features an indoor, Roman-style swimming pool, landscaped gardens and its very own lake.
£5,000,000 from Savills
Howsham, North Yorkshire
A dominating property if there ever was one, this Grade I listed Jacobean mansion is quite the statement. It’s only been on the market three times since 1573, so you better snap it up now.
£4,250,000 from Knight Frank
