Surrey — £5.5 million
A house on a huge scale (nine bedrooms, almost 7,000sq ft) yet which has a truly bucolic, relaxed feel to it despite being within the M25, close to the centre of Cobham.
The traditional architecture belies the fact that the home is only two years old.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details for this property.
Northamptonshire — £2.5 million
The Grade II-listed former rectory is as traditional as they come from the outside, but bursting with character within thanks to some fantastic work from the present owners.
It's set within a couple of acres of gardens which almost completely encircle the house and ensure superb views from every room.
