Buckinghamshire, £2.9 million
rymsdyke Manor, in the Chilterns village of Lacey Green near Princes Risborough, not only has a terrace overlooking its expansive, private 4½-acre garden, but a swimming pool and floodlit tennis court—everything for summer. Another plus for some is that the seven-bedroom, six-bathroom, early-18th-century manor house with Victorian Gothic Savills (020–7016 3780)
