Snooping around : Cottage in Ashton, near Oundle
In the country: Ashton, near Oundle, Northamptonshire
This three-bed cottage is on the green of a model estate village rebuilt in 1900 by the Rothschilds for their workers. It’s a shame, though, that the bathroom is downstairs. On sale for £285,000.Smiths Gore

Snooping around : House in Wooler, Northumberland
Around town: Wooler, Northumberland
It’s large, with three receptions and four double bedrooms, a spectacular garden, a conservatory and off-street parking for four cars. The only drawback is that it opens straight on to the pavement. On sale for £285,000. Smiths Gore

Snooping around : Manor in Roberton, Roxburghshire
Wreck of the week: Roberton, Roxburghshire
An 18th-century Palladian-style manor. The wiring, plumbing and all fittings need a thorough overhaul. It has six bedrooms, five receptions, and nearly 10 acres of gardens and parkland. The beguiling price reflects the colossal amount of work and expense needed to revive it. On sale for £450,000. Strutt and Parker
