Around town: Brighton. The sea glistens at the end of this handsome road. It’s close to the centre, with original fireplaces and stripped wooden floors in the through reception room. On the downside, two of the four bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, and you can’t park in front. Yours for £500,000.

Wreck of the week: Logiealmond, near Perth. A three-bed farmhouse and outbuildings in 4.4 acres. It's in a derelict condition, meaning both house and farmyard need a total refurb. It’s in an exquisite setting, with more than eight acres of extra land available separately. Be warned that you’ll have to install a water supply. On the market for £320,000.

In the country: Ministeracres, Northumberland. Its large gardens lead to a stream, the master suite could become a self-contained annexe and the vaulted basement bedroom – one of four – a teen den. It’s a shame that it's on the A68 and needs a bit of cosmetic updating. On sale for £375,000.

Dream home: Cornwall. A panoramic sea view is part of the charm of this two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage in Coverack, Cornwall, which sits in one of the region’s most stunning coastal villages. While you will need to be a fan of character features, there is a range of attractions, including gardens at the front and back. There is also a utility shed – handy if you plan to polish up your DIY skills by making improvements – and no onward chain. On sale for £320,000.
