Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Cambridge. This is that modern rarity, a two-bedroom house, part of Cambridge’s southern expansion in a parkland development of two former farms in Great Kneighton. It's for sale at £335,000. It's a shame these new fringe developments take a while to bed in.

In the country: Ross-shire. Your £330,000 will buy a house by Loch Kishorn near Strathcarron, with stunning mountain views and nearly an acre of land. Recent improvements have bequeathed four bedrooms and a sunroom, although the main bathroom is downstairs with the master suite and fourth bedroom that could be used as a study.

Wreck of the week: Northumberland. This three-bedroom mid-terrace in Scremerston, near Berwick-upon-Tweed is available for £100,000, so it's no surprise the decor is a bit weary. It’s just a walk away from sandy beaches, there’s decent space for the money and there's the potential to expand the kitchen – which is in need of a revamp – into the pantry. On the downside the neighbours have a right of way through the front gate.

Dream home: Pembrokeshire. At this time of year little can beat a sea view, and this £1.15m family home in the coastal village of Saundersfoot offers that in (buckets and) spades. The current owners of Woodstock added the oak and glass extension seven years ago, opting for floor-to-ceiling glass to make the most of its bayside perch. If you did choose to look inside you'd find spacious reception rooms, an office and a kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, and four decent-sized bedrooms upstairs. But you'll probably just want to sit in the sunroom and enjoy the view.
