Six utterly charming houses for sale, as seen in Country Life
A farm near Chipping Norton and wonderful former inn within the Dartmoor National Park are among the lovely properties to come up for sale in Country Life over the past week or two.

Oxfordshire — £12,500,000
A farm in the Cotswolds, not far from Chipping Norton, that is a 'rare opportunity to create a private amenity estate', according to the agents.
There is a traditional farmhouse at the heart, as well as a range of cottages and converted barns, as well as potential for more to be done. And if you don't want the entire 461 acres, the vendors are happy to split this in to lots.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.
Bath — £3,250,000
An elegant Grade II listed double-fronted Georgian townhouse within a country setting, enjoying panoramic views across the city of Bath.
As for the highlights? It's hard to know where to start, but the Art Deco bathroom and a garden which looks like something out of the Arabian Nights are among the many selling points.
For sale with Knight Frank . See more pictures and details for this property.
Buckinghamshire — £1,750,000
A fine equestrian property for sale that comes with 12 acres, seven stables, a manege and a tack room.

Kent — £2,300,000
Just a mile from Sandwich, this Arts & Crafts house has huge charm and style, particularly in the stonework and leaded windows.

Devon — £1,500,000
