Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Bath. This one-bedder on Lansdown Crescent is a toe-hold in one of the city’s finest crescents. It is set above the city with views of green hills, yet is just a mile from the centre. It comes with its own private courtyard. Yours for £375,000.

Wreck of the week: London. You could spend upwards of £100,000 modernising this three-bedder, on top of the £599,950 asking price. It’s a mid-terrace in a handsome street close to Wimbledon Park and Southfields tube stations, SW18, and has a pretty lawned garden. The third bedroom is pretty compact.

In the country: Devon. Yours would be the middle section of an ancient long house set in glorious countryside in Coldridge, near Crediton. For £195,000 you get three quaint bedrooms, a breakfast/kitchen, two receptions and a conservatory behind the miniature exterior. It’s a shame the bathroom is off the hall.

Oversas home: Mexico. Villa Paloma Blanca in Punta Mita is described by the agent as a 'sun-drenched dreamworld'. And yes, the villa is pretty gorgeous, sited behind gates in the exclusive Real Del Mar and enjoying amazing views over the Bay of Banderas. Yours for £3.4m.

Overseas home: France. This lovely villa in the High Languedoc has four or five bedrooms and a large open-plan living area opening on to verandahs and a paved central courtyard. It also has an independent one-bed maisonette, good for holiday letting or the in-laws? There’s also a nice swimming pool and fabulous views.
