Easter properties – in pictures

Church Rise, London SE23. The estate agent describes this four-bed apartment as stunning, and for once they are right – wow! It is set within the spire of a converted church in Forest Hill with panoramic views over London. It boasts oodles of bare brickwork, arched windows and naked beams, complemented by a working clock window in the kitchen and original bell. The rooms are huge, bright and beautiful, and the property is gated with off street parking. Cost: £799,999.

Stamford Brook Road, London W6. Ignore the fact that this split-level apartment looks like it is let out to a bunch of students. Turnham Green is a lovely area of west London, and once all the clutter has been removed and the rather tatty blinds lifted, this three-bedroom property could be a cracker. It comprises about 930 sq ft of living space with a large open-plan reception room, fitted kitchen and mezzanine study area, bathroom and double bedroom on the first level, with a master bedroom, en-suite shower room and further double bedroom on the upper level. Cost: £499,950.

Kew Road, Richmond, London. Londoners are obviously an irreligious lot, as this beautiful two-bedroom apartment is also in the capital. The south-facing reception room has a huge ecclesiastical-style nave window offering natural light to the reception diner, study and upper reception room, while the kitchen sports an arching buttress from floor to ceiling. One bedroom is ensuite, and there is a separate family bathroom. Cost: £635,000.

West Avenue, Bath. The methodist origin of this one-bedroom conversion means it’s less flashy that the previous ones, but it still offers a lot of open plan space. Cost: £189,950.

Manaccan, Helston, Cornwall For many people, Easter is all about consuming vast amounts of confectionary. This charming cottage, set in about two acres of sloping lawned gardens and ancient broad leaf woodland, could adorn the lid of any self-respecting chocolate box. The interior is very cosy, with a range in the kitchen, and there are three double bedrooms (one is on the ground floor). Cost: £725,000.

Rabbit Lane, Mottram, Cheshire And for others it is synonymous with cute chicks and bunnies. So we couldn’t resist this four-bedroom stone cottage set in the appropriately named Rabbit Lane, Mottram. On the ground floor is a 15’ square kitchen diner, with requisite range, a decent sized sitting room which gives onto a sun room at the rear of the house, plus a bedroom or study. Twin staircases lead up to a further two bedrooms, both ensuite. Lovely gardens, and the property is surrounded by fields. Cost: £499,950.

Dream home: Dorset. The dreams of many would resemble this: blue sea beyond the buffering fields, vistas along the cliff line of the Jurassic coast, and a mile-and-a-half of unmade track connecting your hilly headland to the village of Worth Matravers, which clusters round a duck pond. All the bedrooms in this former coastguard’s cottage are doubles and there’s a study to supplement the two receptions. Sadly the £675,000 price tag means that, for most of us, a dream it must remain.
