    Across the River Tamar in south Cornwall, renovation is also the name of the game. Here Strutt & Parker Cornwall quotes a guide price of £1.9 million for secluded Grade II-listed Nansough Manor, an exquisite small Georgian manor house set in eight acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland, a mile from the ancient village of Ladock and six miles from the cathedral city of Truro. Local records show that an earlier manor and chapel existed on the site, dating to at least 1414, and most likely a coupl

    A £15 million manor house that's been transformed into as grand a home as you'll find in the Cotswolds (opens the original)

    What's the best way to bring a period house up to date? It's a question we've been musing on a lot at Country Life of late, thanks to two homes in particular. One is Ripple Hall, whose interiors have been transformed into an ethereal white space, the sort of home you can image Kate Bush dancing through in a 1980s pop video. The other is No 61 Colebrooke Row, a townhouse that's been stripped back to its original fabric in a stark, brave, and yet undeniably striking way. Fascinating as those extre

    A 600-year-old house that's full of period charm outside — and 1980s-style fantasy on the inside (opens the original)

    It's always nice when a beautiful old country house has a lovely, original interior, with exposed beams, open fireplaces and the like. But, equally, it's always slightly thrilling — in a rather different way, of course — when a home comes on to the market whose centuries-old front door opens on to an interior that looks like the set of a glossy 1980s soap opera. Today's house — Ripple Hall, near Tewkesbury, on the north-east extremity of the Cotswolds — is very much in the latter vein. It's for

    A few days ago I took a look at Ripley Grange, a 20th century home that is a perfect reproduction of a grand Tudor country house. Today, it's the real thing: the exquisite, Grade II*-listed Old Cloth Hall in Cranbrook, Kent, which is for sale through Will Peppitt of Savills for 'offers over £2.5 million'. As its name suggests, the magnificent timber-frame building, clad in red brick, was originally built in the 15th century as a cloth hall, reflecting the Wealden town’s once-thriving broadcloth

    Country-house agent Tim Phillips quotes a guide price of £10.5 million for Grade II*-listed Ripley Grange at Theydon Bois, Essex, which stands in more than 40 acres of formal gardens, woodland, open pasture and established parkland on high ground abutting Epping Forest, with views over its own gardens and the surrounding countryside towards the distant London skyline. The house enjoys total privacy within its own grounds, yet central London, the City and Canary Wharf remain readily accessible, w
