Staffordshire, £1.8m
If you’ve always dreamt of buying your own sprawling Georgian manor, feast your eyes on one of the prettiest houses in Staffordshire.

Tormarton Court
Gloucestershire, £5.95m
Deep breath. And even deeper pockets. Tormarton Court in Badminton, Gloucestershire has it all for the buyer who can part with just shy of six million pounds. Ten acres of parkland, woodland and a mature walled garden; eleven spacious bedrooms, heated swimming pool and a barn conversion. Ultimately, this Georgian former rectory is more of a small private estate. Sigh. Check out the details here.
Leasam House
East Sussex, £7.5m
Oh, to swan around as chatelaine of lovely Leasam House in East Sussex! The mansion has 57 acres of gardens, parkland and woodland and overlooks the rolling hills of Tillingham Valley. Formerly accommodation for pupils at the Rye Grammar School, this Grade II-listed Georgian property was later sold into private hands. Subsequent owners included several members of parliament. The latest owner Matt Le Breton is known for hosting spectacular firework displays and for hiring the Red Arrows for a family party. Did we mention the purpose-built music room with high ceilings for brilliant acoustics? Just imagine the party possibilities. Check out the details here.
Launde House
Lincolnshire, £599,950
Hankering after a commuter house with buckets of charm? Launde House is a Grade II listed Georgian country house with a secluded and mature walled garden. It feels remote while enjoying the buzz of a designated conservation village. ‘We especially love Georgian architecture’s symmetry and proportions and Launde House is a particularly fine stone-built example which offers a real sense of space both indoors and outdoors,’ say current owners who are selling as their children have now grown up. Check out the details here.
Newport House
Herefordshire, £10m
This secluded beauty of a Georgian house is the real deal. Newport House is one of Herefordshire’s most important houses. Current owners have worked tirelessly to reinvigorate and refurbish the 10-bedroom house and estate to its former glory. It comes with a Coach House, Victorian stable block, paddocks, walled garden, eleven flats, cottages, farmhouses and working farms. With 427 acres, the house sits in a particularly beautiful part of the world, with the wooded rolling farmland of the Wye Valley to the west and the majestic Black Mountains in the distance.
