Snooping around – in pictures

Wreck of the week: London. Set in SE15, this is a three-bed terrace with elderly carpets, weary wallpaper and a grotty kitchen, and it’s yours for £325,000. Cosmetic intervention would reinvent it. It’s in a cul-de-sac, a brief shuffle to the East London line at Peckham Rye, with off-street parking and no onward chain. Beware: two of the bedrooms are less than 7ft wide and the garden is a small courtyard.

In town: Hampshire. This is on the high street in the Georgian market town of Lymington, close to the river and salt marshes. Yours for £298,000 it has its own parking and a roof terrace, but even with two bedrooms it’s a bit on the small side.

In the country: West Yorkshire. Clifford, near Wetherby, is the setting for this £274,950 house. It combines elegance with character in the three bedrooms and two receptions, and there’s potential to convert the garage to a studio. It’s a shame the garden is a paved courtyard.

Dream home: Shropshire. This four-bed medieval house in Habberley, near Shrewsbury, is an idyll inside and out – from the hills rearing beyond the natural lake in the garden to the drama of exposed timbers within. The bedrooms and three receptions have been expensively upgraded, adding French oak units to the kitchen, a wood-burning stove to the huge stone inglenook, and exposing wood and flagstoned floors. The garage has been converted into a two-storey studio where excess guests can be stowed or desk jobs pursued. There’s an acre of paddock overlooking the village church, as well as 0.7 acres of landscaped gardens. Cost: £555,000.
