Snooping around – in pictures

In town: London. Brockley in SE14 has new rail connections, and at £329,950 this is a bargain for three bedrooms and two receptions. The fittings, while newish, may not be to everyone’s taste, however.

In the country: Kent. This arose from a dovecote on a farm in Wingham, near Canterbury, and has an eight-sided living room, a kitchen/diner and a top‑floor bedroom roofed by a wigwam of beams. It’s a shame you have to walk through the second bedroom to reach the third. On the market for £435,000.

Wreck of the week: Ross-shire. A former Victorian free church for £195,000? That’s because it will need a total conversion if you’re planning to move in, and for that you’ll need to get planning permission. It’s in the handsome spa village of Strathpeffer and has plenty of dramatic ecclesiastical features, including rows of pine pews, and a quarter of an acre.

Historic home: Suffolk. Being 600 years old, Mill Cottage in Wetheringsett, near Stowmarket, is stuffed with original features. The current owner believes the house could be formed from part of a Tudor ship, indicated by notches in some of the beams, which is fitting given the 'gentle' stream which passes beneath it. Cost: £289,000.
