House - Whitehaven, Cumbria

Dirt-cheap mystery house that's got to be worth a look! We say mystery house because there's not a lot of detail around on the property.

It's a semi-detached house, in Parton - a coastal village a couple of miles north of Whitehaven and close to the Lakeland fells.

It's got three bedrooms, lounge, dining kitchen, bathroom, double glazing and central heating. And "distant sea views" from the main bedroom - woohoo!

It's also got gardens front and back, a nice rural setting and it's on the market for offers around £45,000, through Tiffen & Co.

Yes, we did say £45,000.

It needs "refurbishment/completion", whatever that is, and there is an occupancy restriction that it has to be your primary residence, but it's still damn cheap.

Maybe the price means it sits in the middle of Cumbria's crime hotspot, or that cows run riot through the garden every full moon? But that size house for that little money is worth doing the homework on.

Cottage - Tacolneston, Norfolk

Former bakehouse ripe for renovation. This Grade II-listed, timber-framed former bakehouse comes with planning permission to turn it into a pretty two-bedroom home. It sits in 0.15 acres of garden - a chunk of it taken up with a pond.

It dates from the late 17th or early 18th Century and is closely associated with the neighbouring Manor House. Currently, the building is being used as store. The Manor House's owners applied for the original planning permission which includes a living room, kitchen/dining area, garden room, bathroom, two bedrooms. They also have permission to convert nearby barns and outbuildings to residential use.

Tacolneston is a small village, around 10 miles south of Norwich.

The Old Bakehouse is on the market with a guide price of £195,000, through TW Gaze.
