Snooping around – in pictures

In the country: Shropshire. Leaded windows overlook woodland in front and a large garden behind this £220,000 house in Ashford Carbonel, near Ludlow. There are slate floors, an inglenook and beams inside, plus a garage and room to extend. It’s a shame it’s a commute from the two bedrooms to the toilet, downstairs through the kitchen.

Wreck of the week: Aberdeenshire. This is a Georgian kirk in Boyndie, Banff, with planning permission to become a four-bedroom house. Offers in excess of £50,000 will be considered. Following a fire in 2000 it is skeletal, but it offers nearly half-an-acre of fine scenery. Beware, a conservation design statement will restrict what you can do.

In town: Cornwall. Behind this sober exterior in Albert Terrace, Penzance, is airy elegance with stripped floors, original fireplaces and panelling. The front rooms overlook the bay, while the back garden is a courtyard affair. Cost: £340,000.

Historic home: Falkirk. This former manse in the village of Slamannan sits in large grounds at the end of an aristocratically long driveway. Inside, a handsome turned wooden staircase leads off the Victorian tiled hall to five double bedrooms, and if these seem a squeeze you can turn the third reception into a guest berth. Price: £275,000.
