1. A penthouse in a historic mansion

This show-stopping penthouse apartment occupies the entire attic space of Rawcliffe House, a B-listed mansion built in 1862. Stunning stained glass roof lights flood the open-plan living space with coloured light throughout the day.

The curved staircase with polished plaster finish leads to a mezzanine study area, while the principal bedroom features a fireplace and a turreted four-piece en-suite that feels like something from a fairytale. Set within 3 acres of manicured grounds with nature walks and residents’ allotments, this is luxury living with a historical twist.

This spectacular conversion of St. Paul’s Church, built in 1846, has been painstakingly restored to create a truly unique home.

The property retains many of its original features while incorporating contemporary styling throughout its three levels. The impressive entertaining spaces and magnificent scale make it easy to see why this home caught so many eyes.

3. A pristine Glasgow townhouse

Designed by Charles Wilson around 1855, this A-listed sandstone villa in one of Glasgow’s most prestigious locations offers over 8,000 square feet of newly refurbished accommodation. The corner position provides south-facing views over mature trees towards Kelvingrove Park.

The breathtaking reception hallway sets the tone with its imposing staircase, while seven double bedrooms ensure there’s space for the grandest of gatherings. The property’s sheer scale and architectural significance make it a once-in-a-generation opportunity in the heart of Scotland’s cultural capital.

This magnificent 18th-century old vicarage comes with Grade II-listed status and fascinating connections to Lord Armstrong of Cragside. The 5,800 square feet of living space includes stunning period features such as stone mullioned windows, wood panelling and original fireplaces.

The modern orangery with its air conditioning and ceiling lantern creates a perfect contrast to the historic elements, while the beautiful landscaped gardens feature gazebos, a summer house and even a Rhyl water feature.

5. A Walthamstow Victorian villa with a secret garden

Linden House is nestled on the prestigious Beulah Road. A six-bedroom Victorian villa that perfectly embodies eclectic style, its original features include intricate cornicing, cast iron fireplaces and solid hardwood parquet flooring.

This home oozes character, but the real magic lies in the 70-foot rear garden, which is enclosed by original 1900s brick walls and features a ‘hidden garden’ through an enchanting archway. This secluded retreat, basking in westerly sun, provides a rare sense of privacy and serenity just moments from the bustle of east London.
