Wiltshire, £1.35 million
'This elegant period house is one of the finest houses in Chippenham,' say agents of The Grove, which, although technically in a market town, looks and feels remarkably like a country house with its 1.22 surrounding acres and the River Avon at the northern boundary. Originally 17th century with later additions, high ceilings and windows abound and it has five bedrooms and a top floor that could be turned into a separate, one-bedroom flat, if desired, plus a separate former stable building.
