The five most expensive properties up for sale in Shropshire including princess' estate and 'Poundland mansion'

However, only a very small percentage of the population will be able to purchase the most expensive properties that are for sale.

But although not everyone can afford to buy them, it's always interesting to take a look at them and what they have to offer inside.

Below are the five most expensive properties currently for sale in Shropshire.

The Mount, Oswestry

The most expensive and exclusive residential property in Shropshire is The Mount in Oswestry.

It is described as one of the UK's "most important new-build mansion houses" and was listed for sale in February this year for £12.5 million.

It boasts seven bedrooms, 47 acres of land, an indoor swimming pool complex and even its very own helicopter landing pad.

The listing by Savills states: "The Mount was originally part of the Brogyntyn Estate and belonged to the late Lord Harlech.

"The original Edwardian country house was demolished about 20 years ago and the new house built in its place thereafter. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of walking, riding and cycling opportunities with Offa's Dyke being within a few miles and The Old Racecourse heritage site approximately 1.5 miles away incorporating walks with fabulous views and woodland."

Chyknell Hall, Bridgnorth

The mansion was owned by a princess who had an affair with a former Spanish king.

The Grade II listed property, Chyknell Hall is set within a 200-acre estate and is for sale at £10.5 million.

The listing says: "The Chyknell Hall Estate is a unique, private estate extending in all to about 201 acres. The estate comprises a substantial, Grade II listed residence, five additional properties, with exceptional gardens, parkland and arable land.

"Chyknell Hall Estate presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a secluded corner of Shropshire countryside with uninterrupted, far-reaching views."
