Shropshire, £1.65 million
A property has occupied the site of Eudon Gorge Manor since at least the 11th century (there exists a record in Domesday). Despite this longevity, the current 17th- century manor house had fallen into disrepair by the 1980s, whereupon it was sensitively restored and renovated into the fine five-bedroom period home it is now. The interiors are a symphony in Jacobean charm, but with the added bonus of modern bathrooms and a kitchen. The house also boasts a large converted barn, with a magnificent double- height space for entertaining, as well as a fully-appointed kitchen and a double bedroom on the first floor. Permission is available to extend the barn, which sits with its manor in 7½ acres of Shropshire countryside three miles south of the county town of Bridgnorth. Knight Frank (01743 664204)
Devon, £4.95 million
