London, 02 July 2012, No matter how vast your cash reserves, there are some properties it is just impossible to buy.

Among them are those belonging to large country estates who prefer to keep their holdings intact.

But that doesn’t mean the door is always closed, as the Hampshire lettings team at Carter Jonas will only too happily reveal.

They are currently offering several outstanding country properties, among them a historic manor at Neatham, near Alton, that’s within easy reach of the modern world despite its ancient charm.

It has three reception rooms plus a bespoke kitchen with built-in appliances as well as six or seven bedrooms with three bathrooms arranged over two floors. The large gardens feature a pool as well as a magnificent and historic oak tree to offer perfect shade if the weather finally warms up! The rent is £4,500 per month.

At nearby Wyck is a spacious and beautifully refurbished five bedroom house – three of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms. The reception space is impressive, as are the gardens which come complete with an irrigation system. The rent is £2,995 per month.

On the Malshanger estate, Manor Farmhouse at Deane is being offered at £3,750 per month. The accommodation is set over three floors and comprises drawing, sitting, and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen with AGA, a utility room, cloakroom, six bedrooms, two bathrooms and one shower room. Enjoying good-sized gardens, the property boasts outbuildings comprising seven cart sheds, a garage, and an old stable building. A paddock is available by separate negotiation. A smaller, three bedroom property will also be available on the estate shortly for those with more modest requirements.

Along slightly different lines is Station House at Herriard, not part of an estate but impressive nonetheless. This well presented and spacious five bedroom house is close to commuter links and schools and has a study / playroom in addition to two reception rooms and a large and well equipped kitchen / breakfast room. The rent is £3,650 per month.
