Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Lincoln. This is palatial: three bathrooms between four double bedrooms, three large receptions and an aristocratic conservatory. Refurbished with due respect to period features, and the large garden landscaped. Set in the St Catherine’s area, be aware that one of the en suites is shared by two bedrooms.

In the country: Devon. The village of Sticklepath, near Okehampton, is the setting for this six-bedroom B&B. Yours for £575,000 it could, with its 3.3 acres and outbuildings, be put to equestrian use. It’s a shame that half the bedrooms are accessed by one staircase and half by another.

Wreck of the week: Norfolk. You’ll find this brick and pantiled barn just as the animals left it. On the market for £250,000, planners have agreed to more than 2,000 sq ft of accommodation in 1.75 acres near Ditchingham, with wide rural views all around. It shares a driveway with a close-by neighbour.

Bargain of the Week: Devon. Unusually, this wooden lodge house in the middle of a holiday park near Modbury, is available for permanent residency. That could be a bad thing if you like to establish intimacy with your neighbours, since most will only pass through on their holidays, but it means you get to appropriate the communal indoor swimming pool, gym and beauty parlour in low season. On top of your own lushly landscaped lawn, you get to wander the surrounding woodlands and gardens and gaze over the green contours of the South Hams, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For £170,000 you get three bedrooms and two receptions, all fully furnished. There’s an 80s air about some of the fittings and the rooms are a little dark.
