    This week, we uncover 1,000sq ft two-bedroom apartment in Stoke Newington, a four-bedroom stone house in the Cotswolds and an Old Station Master's house in the heart of Snowdonia National Park that comes with its own railway station.

  • Mission possible: our Cornish home

    It wasn't all plain sailing when a London family set out to turn a derelict building in a glorious Cornish location into a modern waterside home.
