Snooping around – in pictures

In town: Chichester. Highland Road is in the suburbs of this handsome cathedral city, and for £420,000 this three-bedder is yours. It has elegant rooms within, and sizeable gardens outside. It’s just a shame the third, attic bedroom has restricted head height.

In the country: Conwy. This is a £320,000 extended farm house in the rugged isolation of Llangwm. It offers wild views from the three receptions and four bedrooms, plus slate flooring, beamed ceilings and an inglenook. It’s a shame the mile-and-a-half-long track shared with a farmer could get sticky in winter.

Wreck of the week: Norfolk. , £190,000. This is a redundant 15th-century church with tower in Thetford. Unless pews, pulpit and a font for bathing satisfy you, you’ll need to convert it from scratch. If you're up to the challenge, however, you’ll have more than 4,000 sq ft of soaring space to play with, plus an acre of grounds, as well as ornate windows, stone arches and vaulted ceilings. Beware, however, that planning permission for a four-bed house has lapsed and the Grade II-listing will restrict wilder ambitions.

New build: East Sussex. The Grand Ocean complex branches back from the Grade ll-listed, art deco facade of the original hotel of the same name in Saltdean, near Brighton. This two-bedder has a modern fitted kitchen, and electric underfloor heating and low energy lighting throughout. The sea views can be enjoyed from inside as well as from your own balcony.
