Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Wiltshire. This is an elaborate old schoolhouse in a conservation area on Calne town green. It’s big inside with four bedrooms, two receptions and a dining kitchen, but comparatively compact outside. The decor is a bit dated. Cost: £350,000.

In the country: North Yorkshire. The village of Galphay, near Ripon, with its green is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Renovations have turned this old farmhouse into a lavish, £495,000 home with four bedrooms, three receptions and a breakfast/kitchen that opens on to large gardens. Traditionalists, however, may resent the funky touches.

Wreck of the week: Cumbria. Cargo, near Carlisle, is the setting for this detached, L-shaped, unconverted stone barn on a big plot. Yours for £125,000, the planners envisage a four-bed, three-reception home in this riverside village. The original farmhouse, also for sale, is intimately close by.

Dream home: Herefordshire. The simple flat front of this newly renovated £325,000 Peterchurch home belies the stunning and spacious interior, which includes five bedrooms, a magnificent vaulted dining/kitchen area, and a fabulous garden room with wood-burner allowing for winter use. The renovation has made full use of wood, with oak flooring throughout and beams in several rooms. The house is heated with an underfloor hot water pipe system.
