This 1940s block sits in large, landscaped grounds close to Denmark Hill station. The bedroom and reception open on to a balcony. It’s a shame, though, that there’s only one bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom are unfashionably veteran. On sale for £309,950.

A stream runs past the front and joins the sea a few hundred yards away. It’s a stroll to the beach, and there are wood and valley views. But it’s doll-sized accommodation, with the second bedroom a minute bunk room. Selling for £300,000.

A three-bedroom cottage that’s a gut and renew job, from plumbing to plasterwork. The glories of its location are on display through all the windows, and it’s only five miles to the M6. Plenty of quaint character to work with. However, a neighbour and a public footpath share the drive. £295,000. H&H Land 0191 370 8530 Photograph: HH Land
