Snooping around – in pictures

In town: London. This is a stylish glass tower with a concierge and a gym. It sits on the banks of the river Thames close to Canary Wharf and a patchwork of marinas. It’s a shame that waste plants separate it from the river … and it won’t be complete until 2017. Yours from £357,500.

In the country: Somerset. Ston Easton is the setting for this beautifully renovated three-bed cottage in the park of a former stately home, which is now a hotel. Yours for £300,000, it has large receptions and bathroom, while an outbuilding could become an office. It’s a shame you’re just inside the tradesmen’s entrance to the hotel.

Wreck of the week: Northamptonshire. The idea is that you knock this two-bedroom bungalow down and fulfil the planners’ vision of a four-bed chalet-style home. It’s a sizeable plot in the well-served village of Warmington, close to the handsome attractions of Oundle. On the market for £195,000, be aware that the current tenants require two months’ notice.

Dream home: Norfolk. This is one half of a Victorian primary school in the village of Hopton. Lavish investments have added a self-contained one-bedroom annexe and a garden room including a fish pond and productive grape vines. Although it is a semi it manages 3,000 sq ft of living space, including a palatial bathroom and two double bedrooms in the main house. Yours for £350,000.
