Cottage - Isle of Jura

Pretty, semi-detached island cottage. Oak Tree Cottage, at Inverlussa, on the stunning Isle of Jura, is in a lovely position just 200 metres from the sea and a small, sandy beach.
As if that wasn't attractive enough, the cottage is also a decent size - with four good bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and a box-room/play-room.
It would make a lovely family home but would also make a good-sized holiday home with rental potential. It needs modernising and updating - the kitchen in particular could do with a facelift.
Oak Tree Cottage was originally two properties but has been converted into one home, retaining some original features including open fireplaces and original windows.
Offers invited over £120,000 through DM Mackinnon Estates

Church - Pembroke, Wales

Former baptist church packed with original details. The former Mount Pleasant Baptist Church dates from 1859 but was rebuilt in 1877 to the designs of Reverend Thomas Thomas. It's massive and gorgeous, with vaulted ceilings, big windows and the wooden pulpit and balconies still in place.

It's got a large front garden (with space to park up to 12 cars!) and the inside area includes the 50ft by 37ft galleried church and a meeting room, two offices, vestry, creche, schoolroom and ladies and gents toilets.

The poor thing had been used as an antiques centre but is now offered for auction with planning permission to convert the former school and creche into a substantial three-bedroomed house.

However, it's a major piece of work on a listed building and permission has only been given for the current plans, so whether you would be able to make use of the whole space, or vary the plans substantially would need looking at carefully.

The church is offered for sale by auction, at 3pm on July 30th, at the Ivy Bush Hotel, Carmarthen, with a guide price of £130,000.

Cottage - Highbridge, Somerset

Detached cottage sitting in an acre of gardens and paddock. Edith Cottage is in a 'tucked-away' rural setting but in a good position - half a mile from the M5 and less than two miles from Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge.

It's on a good-sized, level plot with a variety of dilapidated outbuildings. The cottage is in need of renovation and updating but there's a lot of scope for expanding and building a much bigger home, subject to consent. However, it would also suit someone looking for a family-sized house with space to recreate Tom and Barbara's Good Life!

The cottage includes three bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom.

It's for sale by auction, through Greenslade Taylor Hunt, on Wednesday, June 25th, 7pm at the Batch Country Hotel, Lympsham, with a guide price of £225,000 to £250,000.

Cottage - Bonsall, Matlock, Derbyshire

Tiny and unusual stone-built cottage. The Old School House Cottage is thought to be an old lead miner's cottage and to pre-date 1710. It's in a good position in the village of Bonsall, about three miles from Matlock and nine miles from Ashbourne and the Peak District.

It has just one bedroom and access is via a shared path (although there is potential to buy further land and create a new entrance) and the property is either outdated and in need of renovation, or charmingly old-fashioned, depending on your viewpoint.

There's a decent-sized garden and good views, and fabulous original exposed stone walls and flagged floors in the kitchen and living room.

The living room has a wood burning stove and the cottage also has gas fired central heating.

It's not big but with offers invited around £135,000, it would make a charming second home or writer's village hideaway.
