Snooping around – in pictures

In the country: North Yorkshire. This is a five-bed homage to the Arts and Crafts movement with original features intact. Situated in Goathland, near Whitby, it has views to the moors and more than an acre of grounds. It’s a shame the decor could do with updating. Yours for £450,000.

In town: Liverpool. With prices starting from £305,000, this new block rears beside the Albert Dock and offers instant access to the city centre. This three-bed apartment has a 33ft living area and terrace. But beware: the development was shortlisted for the Carbuncle Cup, awarded by Building Design magazine for the ugliest new building.

Wreck of the week: London. Full cosmetic surgery is required on this two-bed mid-terrace in Wandsworth, SW18. Yours for £499,950, there is potential to extend and no onward chain, and it’s a brief stroll from Southfields and Earlsfield stations and two parks. Bear in mind, however, that as Southfields is now desirable you get very few square feet for your fortune.

Bargain of the week: Somerset. A gated driveway sweeps round to a large, lawned garden in the hamlet of Haydon, just outside Taunton, and the three-bed house has been newly refurbished. The rooms are all on the small side, but you could harness the hallway for a study or extra dining area should you tire of kitchen suppers; meanwhile, a utility room takes the strain off the kitchen and the bedrooms just about count as doubles. You might hear the M5 which slices past a few fields away.
