Devon – £1.28 million
In the conservation area of Warberry Hill, above the Torquay waterfront, Middle Warberry Court looks out towards the sea, with the master bedroom enjoying particularly fine views.
The four-bedroom house was built in the mid 19th century and has been painstakingly restored over the years, so the interiors have kept many original features, including a magnificent Art Deco bathroom.
The grounds encompass a 120ft-long terrace, a willow pattern-style bridge and a pond.

South Cornwall – £3.25 million
Leading directly down to Falmouth Harbour, this beautiful 6-bedroom house has the location and the bones to be a stunning family home – all it needs now is a loving hand to give it the update it needs to bring it up to speed with modern decorating trends.
The gardens are beautifully stocked and boast a wide terrace to make the most of the lovely views. The kitchen has a funky central island (which the new owners may unfortunately decide to do away with, depending on their taste). Either way, they'll be getting a wonderful house to call home and a fun project for a year (or two).
For sale with Lillicrap Chilcott. See more pictures and details about this property.
Sutherland – offers over £650,000
