Hertfordshire — £1,800,000

Berkshire — £3,500,000
There's a touch of Beverley Hills flair about this house near Newbury, not least thanks to the sweeping staircase which curls down into a cavernous entrance hall area.
It's a house that has been built with an incredibly high spec: top-end lighting, heating, insulation and media systems have been installed, while there's a Mark Wilkinson kitchen/utility/breakfast room of 700 sq ft.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
Wiltshire — £9,000,000

Buckinghamshire — £4,000,000
An eight-bedroom home with views across the Chilterns, set within rolling, leafy grounds.
