Snooping around: Rural, urban or renovation

Wreck of the week: Essex. This former Baptist church in Kirby Cross, Frinton-on-Sea, is not configured for domestic use: £100,000-plus should raise some internal walls and fit a kitchen and bathroom, on top of the £100,000 asking price. Planners might let you pull it down and start afresh, and there is room for a spacious potential garden. Passing traffic can get heavy. Fenn Wright, 01206 763388 Photograph: Fenn Wright Photograph: guardian.co.uk In the country: Isle of Wight. A mile from the sea in Freshwater, and of venerable vintage, sits this three-bedder. It is garnished with beams and fireplaces, while outside are large gardens. It's a shame the three bedrooms have restricted head height, and one is cut off from the rest and accessed only via its own staircase from the kitchen. Yours for £365,000.

This £245,000 four double-bedder in Plymouth is spacious and elegant, and has wood panelling and original fireplaces, while a roof terrace looks out to sea. There is also a double garage. The garden, however, is just a paved courtyard. Bradleys, 01752 251251 Photograph: Bradleys Photograph: guardian.co.uk Over the sea: Turkey. Your private infinity pool melds seamlessly with the Mediterranean 500 feet below. This clutch of new villas sit among pine trees and waterfalls in the hills near the resort of Kalkan. The aim is glamour: marble bathrooms, air con, satellite dishes and a fully equipped kitchen. Residents share tennis courts, but each villa has its own garden. Dalaman airport is 90 minutes away. On the market for £399,000. Spot Blue, 020 8339 6036 Photograph: Spot Blue Photograph: guardian.co.uk Bargain of the week: Somerset. The price has already shrunk from £675,000 to £595,000, and it would be worth far more than the former figure but for a public foot path running past the door and down the middle of its land. Also, a neighbour has right of access across the track along the length of the grounds. But if you can tolerate him and the odd hiker you will rejoice in two acres of land with a stream by the village of Chilcompton and a five-bed stone barn. There's a studio over the detached car port.
