Suffolk, £2.75 million

A classic Edwardian mansion, Cransford Hall sits in some 15 acres of gardens and parkland in the Alde Valley, near Saxmundham. Originally built as a private residence in 1910, the property has also seen use as a care home and boarding house, but has since been remodelled for family use. Excitingly, Cransford Hall and its 15,800sq ft of accommodation are unlisted, meaning that prospective owners can remodel and refurbish with relative ease, making this an attractive purchase for those looking to create their own home without having to actually build it. Inside, the property boasts 12 principal bedrooms across its four floors (all serviced via a lift, if necessary), as well as four impressive reception rooms. Outside, the gardens and grounds are a mixture of formal lawns, mature trees and bountiful borders, as well as pasture and parkland. The grounds also play host to a separate two-bedroom annexe.
