Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Devon. Part of a former hotel, the largest of the three bedrooms overlooks the estuary in Kingsbridge and is yours for £275,000. The flat is beautifully presented with exposed stonework in the open-plan living room, and there’s a private courtyard and parking. The location could be noisy in the summer months.

In the country: Northumberland. West Woodburn, near Hexham, is the setting for this three-bedroom barn conversion. It’s newly renovated and on the banks of a river, with views over Northumberland national park. It’s a shame the master suite is in the eaves and has restricted head height and Velux windows. Cost: £325,000.

Wreck of the week: Hampshire. The planners are agreeable to a demolition job of this cottage in Pennington and a replacement house nearer the centre of the plot. Yours for £300,000, it currently has three or four bedrooms and is shabby with a felt-roof extension. Internally it’s a bit stingy, but there are large gardens which back on to farmland.

Dream home: Denbighshire. This 18th-century shippon, which served a local estate in Cynwyd, has been converted into a three-bedroom house without sullying its exposed stonework and ceiling beams. However, the picturesque features pale in comparison with the enormous views over the Dee Valley to the Berwyn mountains. Two acres of this wild scenery are its own, including a pond and two paddocks.
