If it's good enough for royalty, it's good enough for us. Set just outside Bath, this stunning Grade II-listed house hosted not only Princess Beatrice but also other members of the royal family. First built in 1712, it sits on over an acre of manicured gardens that lead down to the River Avon, and is complete with a greenhouse and potting shed, a hot tub and a home cinema. It also has lots of quirks, too, including a kitchen hidden behind a bookcase and a still-functioning Elizabethan well. And, being only 3 miles from Bath, if you do somehow grow tired of this impressive estate, there's lots to do just a short drive away.
