Snooping around – in pictures

Snooping: Asylum Rd, London SE15
In town: London. Full-length windows illuminate the wooden-floored sitting and dining rooms in this former perfume factory in Peckham. It’s just a shame that for £345,000 you get only one bedroom.

Snooping: Roundstonefoot, Moffat, Dumfries & Galloway
In the country: Dumfries & Galloway. Roundstonefoot House is a large, elegantly appointed farmhouse in the unspoilt countryside of Dumfries & Galloway near Moffat, with a stream running through the 1.15 acres of garden and an attached two-bedroom cottage. As it will set you back £425,000, it’s a shame the vegetable garden is across the A708.

Snooping: Barton Bendish, King’s Lynn
Wreck of the week: Norfolk. This £200,000 derelict three-bed period house in the village of Barton Bendish near King's Lynn has no mains water or electricity, and sits square on the main road linking Swaffham and Downham Market. On the upside it does come with a hectare (2.5 acres) of Norfolk countryside and fine views to the front and back.

Snooping: Snooping: four-bedroom villa in Creetown
Bargain of the week: Dumfries & Galloway. A home valuation report reckons this property in Creetown is worth £255,000, but in hopes of a speedy sale it’s going on the market for £150,000 with no chain. This is palatial living on a modest budget, for the house has four bedrooms plus a box bedroom on top of the four advertised, four receptions and a large, if unkempt garden. Some cosmetic interference wouldn’t go amiss, but the place is perfectly habitable and handy for hills, river and sea.
