Old and new homes – in pictures

Historic home: Kent. Cute or what? This clapboard two-bed house in Hawkhurst, Cranbrook, has an inglenook fireplace and winding wooden staircase. The main disadvantage is the size of the second bedroom, which is really a single. But you can decide for yourselves: the owners are throwing open the doors from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on Saturday 26 November. On the market for £170,000.

The garden of Foxs Rise is sparse: there are almost no plants apart from a few in tubs. But when you see the views, which can be enjoyed from inside the house as well as from the garden, you understand why the owner has gone minimalist – you really wouldn’t want to detract from the gorgeous countryside surrounding this three-bed cottage. On the market for £299,950, the house, in Briestfield near Dewsbury, is presented immaculately, although the kitchen might not be to a younger buyer’s taste.

This 17th-century rural farmhouse in Iwade is amazingly spacious with three large bedrooms; a huge kitchen; large dining, drawing and sitting rooms; and lots of additional extras like boot and utility rooms. But the main attractions, apart from the revealed brickwork and beams, are the brick stables and two acres of level and lawned garden. The stables have planning permission for conversion to an annexe, but only a heathen would do that. This property is perfect for someone who wants to keep a horse in their back garden. Cost: £500,000. Click here or call John D Wood & Co, 020 3318 6699 Photograph: John D Wood & Co Photograph: Action images New-build home: East Sussex. This £269,950 three-bed town house in Bexhill-on-Sea is smartly presented and very bright, but the rooms look a little cramped. However, all the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, which perhaps accounts for that, and the master bedroom has an en suite as well. The garden is highly manicured.

The internal shots of Brambleside in Denholme, near Bradford, are a bit bleak, but this property comes with a guarantee that lasts until December 2020. For £159,950 you get four bedrooms, an enclosed garden and integral garage. It may prove a pain, however, not to have a bathroom on the first floor where there are two bedrooms, and to have the living and dining room on the first floor while the kitchen is on the ground floor.
