Staffordshire most expensive house

Janine Stone designed country house This house in Staffordshire is the most expensive listing at the moment. It’s got a pool inside next to the lake outside. The photography is interesting.
As well as the 5 bedrooms it has extensive grounds: Private 13 Acre Lake, Hard Tennis Court, Six Hole Golf Course with Bunkers & 12 Tees, Japanese Garden, Fruit Garden, Reed Garden, Substantial Vegetable Garden & Bluebell Wood. In all approximately 24 Acres.
Whilst the exterior of the house doesn’t grab me, it’s nice inside and has everything I want. Although I’m not sure I want a golf course!

Betley Hall Gardens, Betley, Staffordshire is on for POA but between £3.75M and £5M.

Elizabethan Manor – Caerleon, Monmouthshire

Lan SôrLan Sôr in Caerleon, Monmouthshire is one of those houses that just gets me drooling and reaching for my blog to share with you.
Lan Sôr is a fantastic looking house.
Lan Sôr in Llandegveth,

Just above the entrance is a chevron, carved in stone between three wolves heads, arms of the Meyrick and James families, who were owners from the 17th century. It is supposed to have a priests hole
A romantic Elizabethan house with mullioned picture windows and leaded lights, historic fireplaces, it should come as no suprise that it’s a listed building.

Only listing is called Llansor Mill Cottage so maybe the estate agent have the postcode wrong?
