  • Gullane, East Lothian

    Five miles west of North Berwick and 20 miles from Edinburgh, sits Gullane, a picturesque town on the coast of the Firth of Forth. Home to families who move out of the Scottish capital for more space, it is also popular with golfers – there are four golf courses on the doorstep. For sale is this four-bedroom, two-bathroom, B-listed house with a gravelled driveway and an open-plan extension at the back. Wide timber steps connect the wood and glass building to the lawn and an outdoor kitchen area with seating and an open fire. £660,000. Rettie, 0131 624 4183

Period features include exposed brickwork protected behind a glazed wall in the kitchen, and timber ceiling beams. Engineered oak flooring runs underfoot downstairs. French bay windows look out on to the courtyard garden, which has an area partly covered by a slate roof. This rustic and sheltered nook contains the outdoor kitchen and dining area. The main bedroom has views over the Exe estuary and the Devon countryside. £950,000. Knight Frank, 01392 848 839

  • Upper Broughton, Nottinghamshire

    Behind electric gates is this six-bedroom village house. The Georgian facade is in white render with red-brick additions to the side and behind. Its traditional appearance from the road hides a contemporary rear extension. Through the original front door and beyond the entrance hall are two reception rooms, both with feature fireplaces, bay windows and shutters. The kitchen runs into the extension, which has full-width bifold doors out to a wraparound terrace. The garden looks out to a small paddock and countryside beyond. £1.2m.

  • Stockwell, London

    Within the Stockwell triangle, between ‘Little Portugal’, Brixton and Clapham North, is a tree-lined street with a two-bedroom ground-floor flat for sale in a converted Victorian terrace property. The owners have extended it with a side and rear return, which houses the open-plan kitchen-dining-living room. This new space has a partly vaulted ceiling and exposed structural steel beams. The sliding doors open back entirely on to the neat six-metre (20ft) garden, which has a patio and fake grass facing a whitewashed brick wall. £775,000. The Modern House, 0203 795 5920

  • Tonbridge, Kent

    This five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached house sits on one of the main thoroughfares of the town, but away from the busy A26. The property has two matching wide openings flanked by concertina doors that give entry to the garden. Wooden steps lead out on to the lawn and several seating areas. The openings divide the open-plan reception room into zones – one denotes the living room area with a TV embedded into shelves, the other the kitchen with a large central island. To the front is a block-paved driveway with an EV charger. £925,000, Savills, 01732 789 700
