Hunton Manor, Sutton Scotney, Winchester
Savills, £14,000,000
Without question one of Hampshire’s grandest homes, Hunton Manor is a textbook example of Georgian splendour, set in 17.5 acres overlooking the River Dever. It’s now on the market for £14 million. Dating from the early 18th-century and spanning four floors, the ten-bedroom house has quintessentially English interiors that are nothing short of magnificent. A ten-pane glass cupola floods natural light through the heart of the house while full-height oak panelling, tall sash windows and a spiral staircase echo the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The grounds include thatched cottages, formal gardens, equestrian facilities, tennis court, a swimming pool, spa and jacuzzi. Grand, indeed. Get the details.
Cumbers Farm, Liss, Hampshire
Winkworth, £1,400,000
For the first time in over 40 years, this unlisted 15th-century farmhouse is on the market. With exposed beams, open fireplaces, elegant sash windows and period charm in abundance, Cumbers Farm offers plenty of scope for potential.
The main house has four bedrooms, while a single-storey, self-contained annexe offers options for multi-generational living or a reliable source of income. What’s more, a spacious loft could be converted, subject to the usual planning consents. It’s location, in the South Downs National Park, couldn’t be better. Liss village, with its direct trains to London Waterloo, is walking distance, while the market town of Petersfield, recently crowned one of The Sunday Times best places to live (2025), is three miles away.

The Old Rectory, Tunworth, Hampshire
Savills, Excess of £10,000,000
A bucolic dream. Yes, really. ‘It is hard to imagine a more idyllic set up for family life in the country,’ says Phillipa Dalby-Walsh of Savills referring to this beautifully restored 18th century rectory that is set within 27 acres of rolling Hampshire countryside. With six bedrooms and over 10,000 sq ft of living space, the house blends historic charm with modern touches like hard-wired Ethernet and open plan rooms. For those in need of more beds (granny annexe or nanny perhaps), there’s a converted one-bedroom bothy Little Barn and two-bedroom Garden Cottage. The grounds are a rural playground; sweeping lawns, a treehouse, adventure course, swimming pool, tennis court and, best of all, shrouded in complete privacy. Despite its epic sense of peace – with no sight or sound of commuter traffic – this dreamy home is within an hour of London. Get the details.
Walnut Cottage, Brockenhurst, Hampshire
John D Wood, £1,600,000
Direct access to the open heathlands of the New Forest is a rare and enviable perk – one that comes with this beautifully restored Grade II-listed cottage, a commuter’s dream thanks to nearby rail links to London. Originally built in the late 19th-century for the Brockenhurst Park Estate, the four-bedroom home has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its period charm. Exposed oak beams and soft, neutral tones lend warmth and character throughout. At the heart of the house is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, centred around a large island, which opens into a light-filled garden room. Set within more than an acre of grounds, the property also includes a stable block, home office and paddock – ideal for those seeking a touch of country living with access to the capital.

Laverstoke Park, Overton, Hampshire
Knight Frank, £58,000,000
Talk about a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The vast and lavish Hampshire home of former Formula 1 world champion Jody Scheckter is now for sale. Encompassing an extraordinary 1,800 acres, the estate has been a private residence for nearly 300 years and is being offered for sale for only the second time in its long history. Scheckter and his wife, Claire, raised their six children at Laverstoke but with the family grown and moving on, they feel it’s time for a new chapter. At the heart of the estate lies a grand 11-bedroom mansion, complete with an indoor pool, tennis and squash court. Scattered across the grounds are a string of secondary houses and cottages, offering flexibility and further potential. Available in its entirety or in separate lots, this isn’t merely a property. It is a rare and remarkable legacy. Get the details.
