Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Jersey: Five of the best properties for sale in Country Life this week

Save a Grade I-listed abbey or move into a £17 million mansion on the Channel Island.

Northamptonshire — £1,500,000

Few things get us more excited than a house that was once a windmill. This exceptional example near Blakesley is one of the best we’ve seen, with seven bedrooms and 3,800sq ft of living space.

The current owners acquired the Grade II-listed windmill 26 years ago and have restored its fabric, preserved its original features, and created a divine family home.

In the heart of Bedfordshire, you’ll find this five-bedroom Grade II-listed vicarage from the 17th century. Believed to be the oldest property in the village, it has been sensitively cared for and modernised in recent years.

The property also boasts a detached barn/outbuilding. Currently used as a leisure/entertainment space, it has bags of potential for further accommodation if required.
