Old and new homes – in pictures

New build: Gloucestershire. It’s hard to believe, looking at the stone walls and established garden, that this is a new property, but it’s actually part of a development of eight homes in the village of Down Ampney, near Cirencester. This £450,000 three-bed semi is incredibly light and airy with oak flooring on the ground floor. The only apparent disadvantage is a shortage of preparation space in the kitchen.

New build: Kent. The outside of this property in Snodland is deceptively small: inside are four bedrooms (one en suite), a kitchen/family room and a separate sitting room. There is no garage, but apparently the house comes with three designated parking spaces. Yours for £395,000.

Historic home: Hampshire. This three-bed cottage in Lymington in the New Forest has been refurbished to within an inch of its life, leaving little feeling inside of its Victorian origins. However, for anyone wanting a calmly decorated home that is ready to move into, it could be just the thing. Outside, the garden is very bland, but could make a nice project for an owner with green fingers. Cost: £395,000.

Historic home: Northumberland. There’s oodles of space in this £349,950 four-bed stone house in Fourstones, near Hexham, which has a separate lounge and dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room. But if you do find yourself tripping over family members you could always take yourself off to the ‘hobby’ room over the double garage.

Historic home: Gloucestershire. Bijou is the word that springs to mind with this three-bedder in Avening, near Tetbury. The sitting room is just under 14’ by 11’ and the kitchen is just under 11’ by 7’, but it does have a separate small dining room. This compact cottage might not have acres of space inside, but the back garden makes up for it with a huge lawn and vegetable patch and views over the village. On the market for £289,950.
