Not far from London, in a quiet village bordering on the Chilterns, is this former farmhouse with roots stretching back some 450 years. With top attractions, like the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter, just a short drive away, and the city not too much further afield, it's best-suited for those with a car. Retaining its rustic charm, with wooden beams, multiple fireplaces, and a roll-top bath, it's brimming with character. And, with a large garden that's perfect for kicking a ball around or for your furry friend, it ticks quite a few boxes.
