Old and new homes – in pictures

Historic home: Gloucestershire. This £279,950 period two-bed home in Cheltenham comes with a double garage. This seems fair: one bedroom per car owner. It also has two receptions which have been opened up into a 'through' sitting and dining room. The kitchen and garden both need an aesthetic overhaul, but the latter would at least appeal to those who really hate gardening.

Historic home: Cornwall. This is our favourite house of the week. Set in St. Agnes it is bright, beautifully decorated and has a well-designed back garden, not only with a decked dining area but also room for a lawn and trampoline for the kids. None of the three bedrooms are en suite, but the bathroom has a roll top bath. Cost: £350,000.
