This is still one of my favourite houses so far this year and I'm happy to post it again for you to see. It's partly the combination of pink and green which is a current favourite but also the way it has been updated for modern living. So many city and town dwellers live in

So last week's property had a mixed reception. Love the outside, less keen on the inside. So we're going a little more traditional this week - more of your classically handsome well-dressed kind of thing. This is the one for me. Show me a floor to ceiling in a Georgian sitting room and I'm all

What about this then? Not in sunny California but in a small corner of Buckinghamshire. Gerrards Cross to be exact where, I was once told by someone wanting to move there, things hardly ever come onto the market. And then this does; a £4,000,000 modernist house built in 1936 that is on the market with

To Suffolk this week and this very pretty four bedroom (but seven reception), Grade II listed Georgian house which is on the market with Durrants for £580,000, which, after the madness of recent London prices featuring on these pages feels like a lot more for your money. it's a moot point if you don't have

To north London this week and a one bedroom apartment in a converted warehouse with huge windows, brick walls, industrial pillars and wooden floors, this should tick a lot of boxes. It's on the market with The Modern House for £665,000 and is instructive in both open plan living and a working within a restrained

Something quite different for you this week as we're off to Devon to have a look at this four bedroom house near Crediton, which is on the market with Staggs for £775,000. It began life as a barn, no surprises there, although the owners have created something very unbarn-like by adding a zinc roof and

Let's not even start with the weather... actually how do we not? Was watching Killing Eve last night (anyone else?) and it's not a spoiler to say that when she turns up in England - Basildon to be precise - it was clear that that was filmed last summer as the grass was completely brown.

To the country as the sun is shining (at the time of writing) and there is an alarm going off outside my city garden and I wish I was lying on my back under a tree looking up at the clouds scudding by. In silence. Instead I'm on the sofa typing and occasionally shouting/pleading/cajoling with

A classic Cotswold stone house from the outside this honey-coloured grade II listed old forge is all white washed contemporary living on the inside which is the perfect foil for the low ceilings and heavy beams. It's on the market with Strutt & Parker for £1,750,000 and consists of a five bedroom house with a

Well I'm not going to say that summer's here (that would clearly be foolish) but I am going to say that since the sun has been shining this week and I went to beautiful Bath for a meeting, that this house, inspired by the Case Study houses of LA felt like one I wanted to

This is so different from the house I live in that I wonder if I am attracted to it purely for that reason. Or perhaps that during the location shoot I went up and down to the loft so many times during the week that I quite fancy the idea of a house with no

Happy Friday. Fancy a coming for a quick tour of this rather lovely four bedroom terrace house in north London which is so typical of the Victorian terraces in this city and is on the market for £800,000 via Brickworks. It has such a clear, and lovely, red thread that I thought it would be

Right then after last week's million pound extravaganza we are going to the other end of the scale this week. Well, relatively speaking anyway. This is a narrow three bedroom townhouse, a short walk from Brighton beach, which is on the market with The Modern House for £875,000. Located in a former art gallery, there

When I was growing up in the dim and distant 1970s (and it was dim as the General Strike of 1973 meant the lights and heating were actually turned off) there was a programme on television (when it worked!) called Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less
