This £175,000, one-bedroom slice of Georgiana is in the centre of town, with an open-plan living area and tall sash windows overlooking the marketplace. However, it’s not a peaceful location and parking could be tricky.

While this home faces the full glory of the Lake District from its lofty perch with views down the Langdale valley, it does need modernising inside. At the same time, the attic could become a third bedroom. It’s a shame, however, that it shares a garden with the rest of the terrace. On the market for £195,000.

This three-bedroom cottage while charming, is very elderly inside. On the market for £275,000, you’d need to spend up to £100,000 to do it full justice. It’s in the centre of this pretty village close to the M40, with a large walled garden, good-sized rooms and quaint features, although the front door opens straight on to the high street.

Marketed as having, 'great potential for a holiday home' is this two bedroom derelict cottage in Tagoat, Wexford. It is on the market for £55,176 (€67,000) and while this 'potential' may not be immediately obvious, it is probably justified by the fact that the property is in the desirable, sunny south-east corner of the Republic of Ireland, just inland from Rosslare Strand, and comes with an acre of land.
