Old and new homes – in pictures

Yorkshire old and new
Historic home: West Yorkshire.
Set in the heart of Brontë country on the stunning Haworth Moor, this stone-built farmhouse boasts views to inspire. Just as well really, as it’s accessed via a two-mile track that will take careful negotiation in a car and has no mains electricity. The £350,000 price tag buys four bedrooms, two receptions, a sizeable kitchen and lots of outdoor space, but you’ll need to budget for a new generator.

Roydon old and new
Historic home: Roydon, Harlow.
This three-bedroom Victorian semi has been professionally and smartly renovated. The beautifully tiled hall and fireplaces in the reception rooms and one of the generously sized bedrooms nod towards its heritage, while the modern kitchen and internet connection in the outhouse are among the 21st century touches. Commuters can make the most of a double driveway or easy access to the train station. Cost: £479,995.

Blackburn old and new
Historic home: Blackburn.
This picture-postcard cottage in the village of Osbaldeston could be yours for a princely £479,995. The garden is still large despite an extension to the original property which has created bags of living space. Downstairs are two lounges, a kitchen, dining room and utility room; upstairs are three bedrooms – two doubles and a single. The original beams are on show in the master bedroom and family bathroom, while modern touches like underfloor heating and a raindance shower add a touch of luxury.

Milton Keynes old and new
New build: Milton Keynes.
Broughton Gate is a development on the eastern edge of the UK’s most famous new town. For £410,000 you can buy a four-bedroom home with all the trimmings: there are two en suite bedrooms, a downstairs cloakroom and a utility room, plus a study room, alongside a kitchen, dining room and lounge. The bedrooms are all a good size and one even boasts its own balcony. Milton Keynes rail station offers access to London in 45 minutes, putting this home firmly in commuter-ville.

bournemouth old and new
New build: Poole.
Located within easy access of the coast and the millionaire’s row on Sandbanks is this stunning luxury development, set to be completed in the autumn. A top-floor flat with three bedrooms and a south-facing terrace will set you back £285,000. High spec fittings come as standard throughout – the kitchen is all white gloss and stainless steel worktops and the two bathrooms have luxury fixtures. An underground carpark and residents’ bike store complete the deal.

rotherham old and new
New build: Rotherham.
Set in the Wickets development, a short drive from Rotherham and Barnsley, is this brand new mews house. With just a lounge and kitchen diner downstairs it’s not the biggest of properties, but they’ve managed to squeeze in four bedrooms upstairs – one of those an en suite. French windows lead from the kitchen onto your own private garden and the £219,995 price tag also includes a garage.
