First property I have for us to check out today is one of the more unusual Redevelopment Opportunities to pass through our doors... so it's off to Shropshire to see a property that isn't much to look at at the moment, but has more going on beneath the surface when you take a closer look ;-)

Now, this one does need a little imagination as we don't have any interior images to look at, and yes at first glance there isn't really an exterior to the property either! But this isn't just a grassy mound, there is a former earth covered reservoir here folks, and it's one that comes with some

A tiny extension in the back garden of a Bristol house is going under the hammer.

The self-contained "studio" flat - which is the same size as two small parking spaces - is up for auction with a guide price of £30,000.

Hollis Morgan describe it as a "well designed and smartly presented, self contained studio" that's within walking distance of the Bristol City Centre.

So, where do we begin with this one? There's multiple parts to this property. The main house itself has 6 bedrooms, with an additional 2 bedrooms in the annexe, and the separate managers accommodation is 3 bedroom. Clearly there is potential for continued use as a youth hostel, but thanks to the

First one for you today is the opportunity to purchase a gorgeous Grade II Listed property that happens to have a bit of income from an adjoining commercial let. It's a stunning property. In fact it's hardly surprising this thatched cottage has been listed when you catch your first glimpse of that striking exterior, but when you move onto the interior images with this one, you realise that the charm doesn't end at the threshold!

Let's take a little peek at what this one offers inside shall we? Well the ground floor has one very striking feature that can't be overlooked... good height ceilings

The housing market in Sheffield is on the up - with rising prices, packed auction rooms and the return of bidding wars all pointing to a property comeback.

The average cost of a house in the city has increased by more than 4% in the past year, and 2.4% in the last three months, a new report has found.
