Its modern chic complements its vintage charm. Hilly fields rise beyond the landscaped garden. A separate staircase to the second bedroom means small children would be cut off. Asking price: £365,000

A four-bed farmhouse and steading being sold in two lots totalling 91 acres. It’s been 10 years since it was last lived in, so it is derelict and could be extended or rebuilt. It’s a dramatic location with views over the Dee valley, but handily placed with the A93 at the end of the new driveway. However, it could soak up an awful lot of dosh before you can move in. In excess of £545,000

Its three receptions and six bedrooms are full of period graces. It’s a short walk to the town centre and close to the coast. It’s a shame that the garage is shared. Asking price: £275,000
