Was this the best Black Friday deal of them all?

One of the biggest resi deals of 2014 has just gone down in Mayfair. We hear this £45m stonker on the corner of Balfour Place and Mount Street has been snapped up for an undisclosed sum.

Knight Frank has sold the 1,324 acre Shakenhurst Estate on the Worcestershire/Shropshire border for £16m, claiming it as England's "first major estate sale of 2014."

One of Scotland's finest estates - a Highlands jewel valued at over £5.25m - has just been sold by Strutt & Parker.
