Situated just outside Bristol in the village of Olveston is this extremely characterful Grade II listed, 16th century house. It has six bedrooms, an oak panelled entrance hall, a drawing room, a Georgian library and even a 17th century Wig Room, where a servant would have powdered gentlemen’s wigs.
The Green – a historically important residence – also has its own ornamental gardens and a magnificent Grade II listed Cider Barn and Coach House. A snip at £1.45 million.

6. Live like a Georgian aristocrat
If you don’t fancy sharing your Grade II listed mansion, then Harptree Court could be the property you’ve been waiting for.
This is a magnificent Georgian country house in the Classical style with nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms, drawing room, dining room, billiards room, morning room, kitchen, sitting room and entrance hall, stables and a self-contained luxury treehouse too. Set in the beautiful Chew Valley, the 51-acre grounds include a large walled garden, spring-fed lakes, tennis court, parkland fields and woodland.
It’s been in the same family for nearly 100 years, but it can be yours for less than the cost of a flat in Mayfair.
Cost: offers in region of £5m.
