Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Bath. Combe Down, Bath, £595,000. Because ... it retains many Georgian graces, despite renovations that have added a large kitchen/breakfast room. A stately walled garden overlooks the church. It’s a shame that ... the rear plot is a mere gravel patch.

In the country: Perthshire. Tyndrum, £375,000. Because ... of the mountain views (1.9 acres of the stunning landscape belong to you). Three bathrooms, four bedrooms. The stone barn could be usefully renovated and planning consent allows for two chalets. It’s a shame that ... it’s a two-mile drive to the nearest village.

Wreck of the week: Suffolk. Ipswich, £397,500, What? A six-bed detached Victorian town house. The building was last used as a dental surgery and needs domesticating, subject to planning. Why you should ... it’s an enormous space for the money and it also boasts a large basement with a separate entrance. Why you shouldn’t ... it’s in a less salubrious part of town.

Bargain of the week: East Sussex. Its vintage, new world flavour earned it a role in the TV version of Anne of Green Gables, but its quaint looks are also its downfall for lenders are nervous of timber-framed buildings. Because of this and the fact that it needs a modernising hand, you get four bedrooms, three receptions, a conservatory and 0.75 acres of gardens in the village of Salehurst for £495,000. You have a choice of two staircases to reach the bedrooms and second bathroom and a smattering of fireplaces to resurrect. It’s perched aloft with wide views over green landscapes.
