It’s a first-floor apartment full of charm and with delightful views in the village of Old Cleave; it has parking, a private garden and is within a mile of the sea at Blue Anchor.

Hertfordshire — £375,000
Just one bedroom — this is the heart of commutable Hertfordshire, with excellent road and rail links — but bursting with charm, from the wooden floors to the thatched roof above.

Isle of Skye — £350,000
Located at Kilmuir on the northern end of Skye — not far from the grave of Flora MacDonald — this is one of those houses that offers an amazing amount of home for the money.
Immaculately presented, spectacular views, and four bedrooms — although it’s currently set up as three plus office. And you really can work from Skye here: the agents report that there is ultra-fast 1000mbps broadband available to this address.

Pembrokeshire — £399,999
Waterside living really doesn’t get any closer to the water than this home on the outskirts of the port of Milford, from where you can practically get your feet wet without leaving the living room.
It was originally a toll cottage built in the 1830s, but now is a detached, three-bedroom house with a surprisingly lovely garden despite the tucked-in location, and the views across the busy waterway. Add in a location that is close to town, the ferries across the Irish Sea and the direct trains to London, and it’s quite a find.
For sale with FBM. See more pictures and details for this property.
Somerset — £395,000
