Hidden down a long private lane, right at the end of the Beaulieu River, this home offers you a glorious slice of secluded countryside luxury set around sun-trap courtyard gardens. Absolutely nothing in this refurbished barn has been done half-heartedly. Owner Julian, a well-regarded furniture designer, expresses his artistic passion in the constantly evolving space. Furniture can come and go here, but Julian's bobbin carver chairs are a mainstay. They fit perfectly around the dining table that can seat up to eight guests. And on warm days, throw open the French doors to the courtyard for a sheltered alfresco feast. Walking past the colossal art pieces, accented architectural elements and earthy sculptures (we especially loved the elephant skull) is a surreal experience offering up a surprise at every corner. But when it's time to pause, sink into the squishy sofas in front of the log burner, or grab a seat in the enchanting garden and sip tea in the company of the resident chickens.

And today, this swathe of green landscape where deer and wild ponies graze freely is one of the most idyllic escapes in the UK. There are plenty of cute-as-a-button villages dotted throughout the region – our favourites include...
