With a seemingly unending selection sprawling country estates, barn conversions and historic buildings, it's no surprise that Shropshire is filled to the brim with pricey properties.

Chances are your pockets aren't £1m deep. But if you're anything like me, you can't resist nosing around at how the other half live.

So whether you're fantasising about living your best Bridgerton life on a 17-acre estate or if a town centre Victorian villa is more up your alley - here's what a large lottery win could get you right now:

The Mount, Oswestry: £12,500,000

Described by Country Life magazine as 'one of the greatest homes built in Britain this century', The Mount in Oswestry has been on the market since February. 

The original Edwardian country house that stood on the Brogyntyn Estate was demolished around two decades ago after falling into decline. 

The new owner quickly assembled a team of architects and conservation experts to build another Georgian-esque mansion on the site - and no expense was spared.

Today, it's a 31,000sq ft country house with sweeping grand staircase, seven elegant bedrooms, swimming pool, and 47-acres of parkland and walled gardens.

The Woodlands, Wem: £2,950,000

Formerly a hotel, The Woodlands is now an impressive six-bedroom country home after two years of renovations and extensions. 

Five acres of landscaped gardens and grounds include a private lake fully stocked with koi carp and other varieties of fish plus two fishing platforms.

Rooms include two reception rooms, a library, a gym and six bathroom suites - each fitted with Italian marble.

Little Grange, Shrewsbury: £1,850,000

There is very little that's 'little' about the four-floor Victorian town house Little Grange near Shrewsbury High School.

The long list of period features include moulded ceilings, sash windows and part-timbered exterior. 

It also comes with a self-contained one-bedroom garden flat, in addition to the seven bedroomed main home.

Believed to date from the 17th century, Hem Mill even has a working wheel that can be used to reduce the electric bill! 

The ten acres of grounds include a two-acre lake, and a number of outbuildings with planning permission to provide garaging, a hobbies room and an agricultural store building.

Inside the three-storey property are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and five reception rooms. 

The Hollies, Whitchurch: £1,250,000

This incredible four-bedroom, four-reception-room detached home backs right onto the Bettisfield Moss Nature Reserve. 

But you probably wouldn't need to visit, as there's more than 13 acres of woodland, paddocks and formal gardens with two ponds that comes with the home.
