There's a touch of Dynasty/Dallas 1980s-style glamour about the house, with sweeping staircases, huge rooms and magnificent views over the lawns. A real luxury home if ever there was one.
For sale with Winkworth. See more pictures and details for this property.
Wiltshire — £1,875,000
A six-bedroom country home in a village not far from Salisbury, with six bedrooms and 4,000 sq ft.

For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
