The home was re-designed in 1900, 30 years after its original construction. Stained-glass windows and doors, stone pillars and geometric ceilings are part of what sets this property apart.
The property is listed and also features on the Scottish monuments list.
3. Country life in Hampshire for £15m
Owners of this country estate could be lord of the manor with 118 acres and a Grade II listed building to boast about.
Built of Flemish bond brick, this property is understood to date from the late 17th century with the earliest record of people living on the site from 1649.
There are two date stones to the South original façade of the property; one from 1698 when the Potter/Harris quaker family were originally thought to have built the oldest part of the house, and another dated 1847 when the house was significantly remodelled.
In addition to period features, this seven-bedroom home has also had a modern update with features such as a high-tech security and sound system.
As well as a swimming pool and tennis court on the property, the sprawling surroundings of North Wessex Downs and Newbury are the perfect location for a trek or even a horse ride.
4. A doer-upper in the Cotswolds for £7.5m
On the market for the first time since 1949, this house has a long history, and has been called perfect for a renovation project.
The site was gifted to a Benedictine monastery in the 12th century and is now the site of the current impressive 11-bedroom Grade II listed house. The estate also includes a separate annex, lodge cottage and farmhouse, with potential to be incorporated into the main house.
The house itself is Elizabethan-style, built by William Brookes in 1844.
In about 1870 the house was acquired by Francis Henry who built a connecting wing between the main house and cottage in 1884 and made further large additions on the north-west in 1900.
5. A Scandinavian style home in Littlehampton for £765,000
This Scandinavian style home was designed by Italian architect Antonio Parella, and is one of only three in the UK.
Known as "Scyld", the triangular shape gives the property an Anglo-Saxon vibe, and due to this architectural construction, the rooms all have individual shapes.
Features of the five-bedroom property include floor to ceiling windows, pine walls and woodburning stoves.
