Much Hadham, Hertfordshire — £12,000,000
Starting this roundup off with the healthy price tag of £12 million is Moor Place House near the village of Much Hadham, just six miles from Bishop’s Stortford in Essex.
It’s believed that a dwelling stood on the site of the current property before the Norman Conquest, when it was owned by the Bishops of London. Since that time, the estate has passed through multiple ownerships and the current Georgian house — designed by Robert Mitchell — was completed in 1779.
The grand seven-bedroom house is set amongst 51 acres of glorious parklands and has a whopping 18,891 sq ft of accommodation in total.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.

Belsize Park, London — £17,000,000
This ‘Strawberry Hill Gothic revival style villa’ in London’s Belsize Park is a wonderful example of luxury accommodation in a historic coat, having been built in 1810-1812 with fantastic recent updates.
Perhaps most impressive of all is the newly built basement ‘leisure floor’ featuring a pool, steam room, gym, cocktail room (yes please), cinema room and staff accommodation. Glass floor windows in the garden provide the space with natural light and add a unique element to the outdoor space.
The white stucco-castellated Georgian Mansion looks more akin to a French castle, with the footprint of the property curving around the fantastic gardens to make the entire property incredibly private. Yours, for £17 million…
