Snooping around – in pictures

Snooping 130811: Snooping around in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
In town: Gloucestershire. Priory Terrace is a peaceful backwater half-a-mile from Cheltenham town centre and 300m from a park and lido. For £500,000 you get three receptions, four beds, an office and parking at the end of the garden. It’s a shame one of the bedrooms is on the ground floor.

Snooping 130811: Snooping around in Foxup, North Yorkshire
In the country: North Yorkshire. Foxup, near Halton Gill, is wildly remote on top of one of the prettiest dales. A total refurb has beautified the three beds and two receptions, and readied an adjacent barn for conversion. Access, however, is only achieved by a 4x4 up a 1.5-mile track. Yours for £495,000.

Snooping 130811: Snooping around in Lincomb, Worcestershire
Wreck of the week: Worcestershire. This six-bed farmhouse has been empty for a decade and needs £200,000 to revitalise the main house. Another £100,000 would convert an adjacent dairy and create a self-contained home in a separate barn – but that is on top of the £500,000 asking price, of course. It sits in 4.5 acres in Lincomb, near Hartlebury. Beware: this is a huge, long project.

Snooping around 130811: Dream home in Billingshurst, West Sussex
Dream home: West Sussex. This listed farmhouse near Wisborough Green in Billingshurst is one of the most beautiful in the county. Set in picturesque surroundings with productive arable land, woods and watermeadows, it is a lovely equestrian property with extensive amenities including a tennis court, swimming pool, secondary farmhouse, four cottages, gallops and stables. Yours for a not-insignificant £8,000,000.

Snooping around 130811: Overseas home in Most na Soci, Slovenia
Overseas home: Slovenia. This beautifully restored stone house, nestling amid rolling hills near Most na Soci, is perfect for someone wanting a private getaway. Hisa Zenia was built in about 1875 for the foreman of the Vienna to Trieste railway. Overlooking the river Idrijca it boasts spectacular views which can be enjoyed from its panoramic terrace and bio swimming pool. The seven-bed house is surrounded by mature gardens and grounds with fruit trees, shrubs and plants extending to six hectares of parkland. Cost: £746,300.
