One of the most famous architects of his age, James Wyatt designed a huge range of colleges, churches and country homes across the country, including this Grade-II listed manor house in the Buckinghamshire countryside. The landscaped gardens and stately proportions are mementoes of the age in which it was built, but if you're hoping to be transported back to Georgian Britain, you might be a little disappointed by the interior design, which is way more contemporary – and perhaps a little too sparse in places – than the exterior would suggest. Still, we have kind words for the huge kitchen and the grand dining room with a chandelier hanging overhead. That's not to forget the impressive outdoor space too, which features a private swimming pool surrounded by loungers that will really come into its own on warm summer days – or even not-so-warm ones if you're feeling hardy. An early-morning stroll across the lawns would be just as pleasant, too. If you're in the mood for a long ramble, the expansive grounds of Stoke Park await close to the home, while Colne Valley Regional Park is a short drive away as well. The local village of Stoke Poges has a golf course and... country club only three minutes away in the car, and the royal city of Windsor is less than twenty minutes away, too.
