Snooping around – in pictures

In the country: Hampshire. The 17th-century charms of this £325,000 property in Micheldever, near Winchester, have been polished by recent renovations, which have added a luxurious bathroom and a garage. It’s a shame it only has two bedrooms – one of which is just 1.9m (6ft 3in) wide – a large reception and a galley kitchen.

Wreck of the week: Norfolk. This detached four-bedroomed house in Norwich is in need of a complete overhaul, and the rear area needs landscaping – £50,000 would see it reborn. If you offer the £225,000 asking price the vendor is likely to throw in the building to the front which, although intrusively positioned, could become an annexe.

In town: Devon. Although the arched window in the 6m (20ft) living room of this flat in Mills Bakery looks over Plymouth’s marina and the river Tamar, the second bedroom has no window at all, just a glass wall on to the lounge. The bathtub is in the master bedroom.

Bargain of the week: Northumberland. This three-bedroom house in Guyzance has been converted from an old granary on a former farmstead. You and your neighbours share a courtyard in front where you can transfer your dinner through the french doors of the dining room. The same room also opens on to the back garden from where you can glimpse fields. Rustic character is preserved inside in the exposed stone walls and beams and the oak and pine floors. It’s unthreateningly rural, being two miles from the A1 and a swift commute to Alnwick and Morpeth. Banish any sly hopes of operating it as a holiday let, though; you’re not allowed.
