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.

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.

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.
