Snooping around – in pictures

Around town: Lansdown, Bath, Somerset. A two-storey portion of a villa built by John Wood, architect of Bath’s Royal Crescent, with many original features. Both big bedrooms open on to communal gardens. It’s a shame that neighbours can peer straight in through the glass doors of the ground-floor bedrooms. Sale price: £385,000.

In the country: Lower Bournmouth, Berwickshire. Once a lobster holding pen, it’s poised on the shore. Renovations have given en suites to both bedrooms, wooden floors and a chic dining kitchen. There’s no garden and a road close by the rear windows. Sale price: £185,000.

Wreck of the week: Burnor Pool, Calverton, Nottingham. An unconverted former schoolroom and two cottages, which are derelict. Permission exists to demolish the cottages, extend the schoolroom into a five-bed house and build a bungalow. It’s in a village on the edge of countryside and the city, although the garden is small for a five-bed house. Sale price: £120,000 and £100,000.
