Homes with a gym to get fit

Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. It is far too cold for outdoor swimming, but if you like the feeling of being outside while immersed in warm waters you will love this place. From the heated pool you can see around your garden and enjoy the skies above. All yours, along with four bedrooms, for £1.98m – and they're throwing in the powerplate too.

Shaldon, Devon. Put your iPod on, get on the treadmill and escape the rest of the family in your top floor fitness room. The best feature in the gym of this deceptively spacious £685,000 four-bed home is the sauna. There's even a shower on the same floor, so you'll have no excuse for coming downstairs to dinner all sweaty.

Lymington, Hampshire. With a house as expensive and exclusive as this, you'd be forgiven for not having spare cash to splash on gym membership. Clocking in at £7.95m, this six-bed manor house gives you plenty of space to exercise, and a choice of keep-fit activities. Inside, there's a gymnasium and heated swimming pool (and a snooker room if you classify a green baize workout as exercise); outside there is a tennis court and 4.5 acres of land to enjoy, not to mention the rest of the New Forest national park, of which this house is right in the middle.

Newquay, Cornwall. This £675,000 cottage is a tale of two halves: on the one hand you've got all the original beams and old stone walls; on the other is a flashy conversion with vaulted ceilings, chandeliers in the kitchen and underfloor heating. The air-conditioned gym is in the 'new' part of the house.

Northiam, East Sussex. If the rather time-worn gym in this sprawling five-bed bungalow doesn't inspire you (it's dated in terms of decor), you can easily go for a jog in the 1.49 acres surrounding the house. For £825,000 you get an indoor swimming pool with sauna, and should you choose to update the gym the wiring is all ready for a flat screen telly so you can watch EastEnders while you run.
