10 bedrooms; 6,000 sq ft; £1.5m via Mr and Mrs Clarke
This vast countryside home is set above Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire and is a life-changing property. Parts of Thorpe Hall date back to the 16th century though it’s been added too throughout the centuries, especially during the Victorian period. It’s replete with wood-panelled rooms, period fireplaces and original mouldings that fill rooms with character, and the 6,000 sq ft home also has 4.5 acres of gardens and paddocks. One wing is run as a popular B&B, while a separate two-storey Coach House could also be a future commercial let, WFH studio or event space. Get a closer look.

The London property has its own courtyard, and access to 12-acres of private gardens, tennis courts and a lake that make up the grounds of the neighbouring St Margaret’s Trust.
