In the country: Cumbria. This former village school house in Stapleton, near Roweltown, makes for a capacious home with five bedrooms in large grounds. Yours for £280,000, be minded that the decor and landscaping need an overhaul. H&H KingPhotograph: H&H KingIn town: Kent. Walmer near Deal is where this three-bed gated portion of a converted gym sits. On at £340,000, it was once part of the royal barracks, and is right by the beach. One bedroom overhangs the living room, which could be noisy. Bright & BrightPhotograph: Bright & BrightWreck of the week: Essex. Planning permission exists to turn this old church meeting house in Wethersfield, near Braintree, into a three-bed home. There is 1,308 sq ft of unconverted living space, and the arched windows and high ceilings will create a home with drama. On the market for £235,000, there is a fly in the ointment: the adjacent church is also being sold off for £235,000, and preference will be given to those who can buy both.
