  • Lymm, Cheshire

    Grand, luxurious and, in places, downright OTT, this eight-bedroom lakeside house with 11 acres, helicopter hangar, 22-car garage, indoor pool, orangery, media suite and multiple chandeliers has to be seen to be believed. It’s in a desirable village 18 miles south-west of Manchester that is home to sports icons, music moguls, TV stars and politicians. There is a self-contained apartment on the ground floor and a three-bedroom lodge in the grounds. The vendors will consider part exchange for a property or assets such as art or collectible cars. £6m. Jackson-Stops, 01625 540 340

  • Denham, Buckinghamshire

    Denham Mount is a Grade II-listed Georgian villa built to the designs of architect Robert Lugar which seems to have everything in its 40-acre grounds including a lake, a ha-ha (a type of sunken fence), a Victorian ice house, a folly, four period cottages and a range of fine specimen trees. The elegant house has seven bedrooms, and its claim to fame is that part of the 1945 film classic Blithe Spirit was made on its veranda. A country idyll, but only 18 miles from central London. £5.85m. Strutt & Parker, 020 7318 5025

  • Scraptoft, Leicestershire

    This five-bedroom detached house is one of 18 homes that jointly own the lake in the grounds of an 18th century mansion, Scraptoft Hall. Built five years ago on a Davidsons development, the house faces the lake, while its south-facing back garden has views across an open green towards the village church. On the ground floor there’s a large living/dining/kitchen area with a galleried landing above, a separate lounge and a study. The private plot comes with a double garage and an enclosed four-person hot tub. £585,000. Bentons, 01664 563 892

  • Lowsonford, Warwickshire

    Bushwood Hall is a Grade II-listed, part-timbered, moated hall in open countryside with five bedrooms and four reception rooms. The moat is a scheduled ancient monument dug in 1314 for the previous house. It has been well updated and contains features from a mix of periods (note the wig cupboard). There’s a huge central chimney breast with salt cupboard and inglenook. Sitting in nearly eight acres, it comes with Trap House, a separate buttressed building which houses a double garage with a sitting room and en-suite bedroom above. £1.295m. Knight Frank, 01789 867 103

  • Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire

    This two-bedroom second-floor apartment is in Grade II-listed Grey Towers Hall, a Gothic mansion set in 80 acres of parkland with a lake. The flat is in a good condition and boasts wooden flooring, a high buttressed ceiling and Gothic windows in the open-plan living/dining room. The agents say it is competitively priced as the vendors want a quick sale; there is no onward chain. It comes with two parking spaces plus visitors’ parking. £170,000. GSC Grays, 01642 710 742
