A Shetland chapel and three other fine homes

In the country: Noss Mayo, near Plymouth, Devon
This barn conversion is half a mile from the beach and close to the coastal path across National Trust countryside. Beautifully groomed open-plan living gives a feeling of spaciousness. It’s a shame, though, that there’s only one bedroom and that the garden and tennis courts are shared among the 17 neighbouring houses. Guide price: £195,000. Marchand Petit, 01752 873 311

snooping0208: Brampton
Around town: Moat Street, Brampton, Cumbria
A double-fronted three-bedroom house close to the heart of this market town. It squeezes within it two receptions and a largish kitchen. It’s a shame that the third bedroom is only 5 ft wide and the back garden is a tiny yard. Guide price: £159,950.

snooping0208: Orleton
Wreck of the week: Orleton, near Ludlow, Herefordshire
This detached four-bedroom house is in need of stripping out and redoing inside – a process that may expose many more period features. It’s in a well-served village in glorious countryside and there’s lots of scope in the three receptions and large garden. However, it’s an awkward layout with the stairs leading out of the kitchen and the dining room across the living room. On the market for £295,000.

snooping0208: Mossbank
Surreal estate: Mossbank Church, Delting
Recently featured in the BBC drama Shetland is this quiet country church on the edge of the village of Mossbank, 28 miles north of Lerwick in the north mainland of Shetland. With a view looking north to Yell Sound and the Island of Yell, the rectangular stone property comprises sanctuary, vestry, hallway, kitchen and WC and has potential for a variety of uses subject to planning permissions. Offers over £30,000 are invited.
