Old and new

Historic home: Fife. Mount Melville House is a dream for golfers: it is surrounded by the championship Duke’s Course just 30 minutes walk from St Andrews. The B-listed courtyard property was built in 1905 and was the former stables, coach house and staff quarters of the Younger family mansion and estate at Craigtoun. It combines generous living – eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, five receptions and two kitchens – with period features throughout. Outside are 1.9 acres including a kitchen garden, timber summer house and wildlife pond. Offers in excess of £1.5m.

Historic home: Norfolk. The 18th-century Shelton Hall near Norwich occupies the moated site of a Tudor Hall – the family seat of the Sheltons. Sir John and his wife Anne Boleyn, aunt of the unfortunate namesake who married Henry VIII, were appointed as governess to Princess Elizabeth, who is believed to have lived at Shelton during her childhood. The house is huge with nine bedrooms, four bathrooms and five receptions, but included in the £1.6m price tag is nearly 63 acres of meadow, park and woodland. A grade II-listed great barn built around 1600, which already has planning permission for conversion to a separate dwelling, and a further nine acres of land are available for £600,000.

New build: Hampshire. The properties in the Farnborough Central development look to have drawn on the town’s strong connections with aviation. Many, including this three-bed terrace, have rounded roofs, reminiscent of aircraft hangars. The Moorhouse design has an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen, two biggish bedrooms, a bathroom, a master bedroom with en suite, and a terrace. Yours for £269,950 upon its completion in the autumn.
