It may be a tiddler but it feels more spacious than it ought because of decent ceiling heights and stylishly refurbished rooms. Its outside space is disproportionately generous with a parking area and large back garden with fruit trees. Although it enjoys the luxury, rare among old cottages, of an upstairs bathroom, it won’t benefit occupants of the second bedroom on the ground floor. Guide price: £285,000.

This flat is just round the corner from Baker Street station and Regents Park and a bracing walk from all the glories of central London. The windows are almost full length and the ceilings lofty, giving it a glamour despite its small scale. It’s a shame that half a million buys you only a pied-a-terre in this postcode. There’s only one small bedroom and you’ll want to retain the idea of a large mirror to make the sitting room look wider. On the market for £499,950.

This is a three-bedroom cottage converted from an old coach house but not in an appealing way. Everything needs stripping out and renewing. It’s set down a cobbled path through an archway near the heart of this handsome town. There’s a garnishing of ceiling beams downstairs. However, the rooms are pretty small and there’s only a courtyard garden at the back. The minute bathroom is off the kitchen. Offers around £175,000.

This new Mediterranean-style “super home” to be built in a gated estate will have five bedroom suites and three reception areas including a two storey, six metre high entertaining space plus a heated swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym and an acre of mature landscaped garden with a Portland stone terrace. Whoever buys this concept house – asking price £8,950,000 – will be able to put their own stamp on it.
