In the country: Angus. This three-bed bungalow in Glen Clova is on the edge of the Cairngorms with spectacular views up one of Scotland’s most glorious glens and half-an-acre of land. It is nine rugged miles from the nearest shop and on the market for £385,000. Smiths GorePhotograph: Smiths GoreWreck of the week: Somerset. A tidy cottage in the hamlet of Upton near Long Sutton. It is weary inside so you’ll probably want to modernise and extend. For £325,000 you also get 0.75 acres of walled garden and orchard, vintage hearths and pretty views all round. The two receptions are pretty small and so far there are only two bedrooms. Chesterton HumbertsPhotograph: Chesterton HumbertsIn town: Suffolk. This is bang in the centre of Newmarket and has plenty of space – five bedrooms and three receptions – that is full of Georgian graces. The decor is a trifle dated and it’ll set you back £495,000.

Dream home: London. A price tag of £5.6m will make this a fantasy property for most of us, but even if you have got that kind of cash this period pad in Chelsea is pretty aspirational. The five-storey, end-of-terrace home has recently been done up to the nines. The master bedroom, one of five, boasts its own dressing room and luxury bathroom, while three of the other bedrooms are en suite. If the weather is too good for sitting in the double reception room you have a choice of the garden or private terrace as the setting for your evening drink.
