Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Cambridge. For £209,950 you get a flat in a riverside development next to Midsummer Common in the city centre, but alas it’s just a studio. It does, however, have a private garden.

In the country: Gwynedd. This overlooks a flawless sandy surfing bay in Neigwl, near Botwnnog, and has three acres of its own land. Yours for £200,000, the owner has rescued the three-bed house from dereliction, but it remains close to the eroding cliff edge, hence planning permission to build a replacement house in a safer position.

Wreck of the week: Cumbria. This is a former school house with two bedrooms in Warwicksland, near Penton. Yours for £160,000 it is partially converted and fully habitable with roughly half of the ground floor left to do. It has large gardens with a studio workshop, a paddock and wide rural views. Both bedrooms are in the eaves, however, with restricted head heights and skylights.
