Old and new homes – in pictures

Historic home: Cumbria. £425,000 for a three-bed cottage in Dalston High Bridge, Carlisle, may seem a bit pricey, but just look at the extension. Garth House is beautifully presented and thought out, culminating in the garden room to beat all garden rooms: it has a green oak frame, double glazing and underfloor heating, enabling the lucky homeowner to spend hours gazing at the surrounding countryside without getting frostbite.

If you’re a bit over the regency period the look of this two-bed semi in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham, may appeal. But while the front indicates that the interior might be interesting, disappointingly it’s actually a bit boring and box-like. The highlight for us was the underfloor heating in the en-suite bathrooms. On the market at £275,000.

The Hollies is a traditional but brand-new detached home in a cul-de-sac in the bustling market town of Horsham. The £469,950 property has three double bedrooms (the master en-suite) and one single, while downstairs there’s a living-cum-dining room and separate kitchen and breakfast area. Given its location between London and Brighton it is perfect for anyone wanting to lead a non-urban family life while commuting to the big smoke.

There are plenty of beams and exposed brickwork, but the decoration and fittings are contemporary.
