Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Devon. This is in the centre of the medieval market town of Totnes, close to Dartmoor and the coast. The fourth bedroom and garden are a little compact, but there’s extra space across the road in the form of a home office. Cost: £475,000.

Its youth – it is only eight years old – endows it with an array of mod cons including underfloor heating and a garage. It’s a shame there aren’t more bedrooms, unless you surrender the dining room.

About £60,000 would replace the roof and inner trappings of this three-bed end-of-terrace in N14; another £50,000 would expand it. But that’s on top of the £475,000 price tag. There’s a garage, a huge reception room and a 90ft garden, but the third bedroom is less than 7ft wide. It’s a short walk to Southgate tube station and in a good school catchment area.

From the front it’s a sweet white clapboard confection in Norton, near Sittingbourne; behind it swells into a large brick oast house that once served the county’s hop fields. The drawing room and one of the five bedrooms are within the circular tower, there’s a large farmhouse kitchen and beamed dining and sitting areas. The half-acre of garden backs on to fields. Yours for £650,000. Geering & Colyer , 01233 661097 Photograph: Geering & Colyer
