Snooping around – in pictures

Snooping around 060811: Snooping around in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
In town: Gloucestershire. You can leave the car in the off-street parking space and stroll the half-mile into Cheltenham. And if the four upstairs bedrooms cramp your style, why not reintegrate the self-contained one-bed basement flat? The lofty should beware: part of the attic bedroom has restricted head height. Cost: £575,000.

Snooping around 060811: Snooping around in Westgate, County Durham
In the country: County Durham. This three-bedder in Westgate, near Barnard Castle, has vast views over the Dales and basic necessities on hand in the village shop and inn. It’s yours for £160,000 but you’ll need to refresh the dated decor.

Snooping around 060811: Snooping around in Boston, Lincolnshire
Wreck of the week: Lincolnshire. Cattle could make themselves at home in this range of brick barns, but humans would need to spend £125,000-plus on top of the £145,000 asking price. In Gosberton Clough, near Boston, there is also permission to transform them into a glamorous four-bed house with studio and outbuildings in 0.61 acres of land. It's 12 miles from the nearest town.

Snooping around 060811: Dream home in Woking, Surrey
Dream home: Surrey. Greywell House near Woking is a uniquely designed Georgian-style Tarrant house on the Hockering Estate. It would make a perfect (large) family home with its seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and a south-facing swimming pool. And with seven reception rooms and 0.76 acres you’ll never be short of space in this stately period home. It’s just a mile from Woking station with connections to Waterloo in 23 minutes. Yours for £3,000,000.
