Around town: Chepstow, Monmouthshire. It’s a walk from the town centre with four bedrooms, has off-street parking, a large garden and views from the back to the Severn estuary. The top-floor bedrooms have restricted head height in parts. Sale price: £249,950. Archer and CoPhotograph: Archer and CoIn the country: Portsoy, Banff. It overlooks the pretty stone harbour with a triple-aspect sitting room, a kitchen large enough to dine in and space to create a third bedroom in the attic. It’s a shame that the garden is a small gravelled plot in the front. Sale price: £160,000. Strutt and ParkerPhotograph: Jim HendersonWreck of the week: London, SE15. A three-bedroom terrace house. Everything inside needs to be scraped out and started again. It’s in an otherwise good-looking road in a prime part of Peckham with a capacious through-reception and an integral garage. It’s on a lease, and the main living areas are upstairs. Sale price: £350,000. Roy Brooks Photograph: Roy Brooks
Surreal estate: Summerbridge, North Yorkshire. An interesting prospect to convert into an unusual home, subject to planning permission, of course, is this end-of-terrace, three-storey former fire station. Located 11 miles north-west of Harrogate town centre, the old Summerbridge fire station offers just over 154.5 square metres of living space though, sadly, no internal pole. The freehold property is up for auction on 29 April at Leeds United Football Club at a guide price of £120,000. Pugh AuctioneersPhotograph: Pugh Auctioneers
