Tenants' week: rental properties part 2 – in pictures

Finningley, South Yorkshire. For the price of one bedroom in a shared house in London you can rent an immaculately presented four-bed, five-reception property on the outskirts of Finningley, eight miles from the centre of Doncaster. All the rooms are a generous size – here there is enough space to swing a lion, never mind a cat. Yours for £1,500pcm.

Newquay, Cornwall. Sadly, this is a ground-floor flat so you won’t benefit as much from the sea views as you would in the first- or second-floor properties, but a short stroll through the french windows means you can gaze out over the water to Ireland (if you have very good binoculars). This £750pcm two-bed apartment is immaculate, with a large kitchen leading through an archway into the dining and living area. The master bedroom has an en suite shower, and there is a separate bathroom.

Weybridge, Surrey. This is a one-bed annexe on a 1930s Tarrant house on St Georges Hill. It’s quite small and is pitched at professionals wanting accommodation for the working week. The rent is £995pcm, plus a hefty £350pcm for utilities – but this includes council tax, broadband, Sky TV and telephone, plus use of the outdoor pool.

Ranelagh Grove, London. This four-bed house near Sloane Square is, ahem, quite pricey at £2,100 a week (£9,100pcm). But frankly I would be happy just living in the bathroom. And just look at the size of the kitchen – you could play football in there. But there’s one thing I really want to know: how long are the necks of the owners? They must be giraffes if the head board in the master bedroom is anything to go by.

West Hagbourne, Oxfordshire. This period house is a fabulous alternative for anyone who works in London but doesn’t mind a 40-minute commute. For £1,750pcm you get three bedrooms and three receptions, open fireplaces, period shutters and an enormous garden. All just three miles from Didcot station.

Twickenham, London. This five-bed, newly refurbished family house on the river Thames really has the wow factor. It has five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, two receptions, off-street parking for two cars, a secluded garden to the rear, and a wonderful gated secret garden to the front. But for all that you will pay a quite substantial £2,192 a week, or £9,500pcm.
