Following on from our seafood flavoured Five to View, this week’s theme is properties with fishing lakes.Â
We’ve cast our net across the country and found some tantalising catches, including one beauty which some of you may recognise from Grand Designs.
It must be the season for it, because there were plenty of fish in this particular property sea to choose [...]

Celebrity chef Rick Stein is credited with turning the Cornish town of Padstow into a household name over the past few years – and some wags have even renamed the town Padstein.
Having chosen it as the location for his mini-empire – which includes four restaurants, a bar and a cookery school – Padstow’s tourism has subsequently [...]

Last week’s Euromillions result sparked off hypothetical “What would you do with that much money?” conversations across the nation but particularly in Cirencester, the home town of winners Nigel Page and Justine Laycock -  where local agents will no doubt be hoping they buy their post-win home.
So, you lucky couple, don’t up sticks and move [...]

If you’re a fan of fallen footballing idols then the past month has been strewn with the stories of Premiership players and their complicated love interests, inadvisable drinking habits and erratic driving skills.
But the biggest story of the year so far has been John Terry’s forays into the tabloids over his extra marital affair with [...]

The ten towns with the largest house price rises during the past decade were not big cities, gentrified suburbs or must-have market towns but rather seaside towns, research has revealed. And out of these salt-water havens with high house price rises, three out of the top four were in Cornwall.
Despite being one of Britain’s poorest [...]

We’re going for an industrial theme this week, with a focus on homes in what were once dark, dingy and decidedly unlovely workplaces, but are now so light and airy former workers might be shocked to see the transformation.
The idea came from our recent blog about the piano factory loft conversion, an inspired design from [...]

All this hideous weather we’ve been having lately has turned me into a complete homebody.
Normally, I’d be going slightly stir crazy if I had to stay in every night but that’s not been the case at all; I’m perfectly content to be cosied up with a large glass of warming wine in my hand.
Indeed, it’s [...]

We’re starting to feel the festive vibe here at Winging It, with visions of mulled wine, mince pies and Christmas presents popping into our heads on a regular basis.
So, with thoughts of cosy nights spent roasting chestnuts by an open fire occupying our dreams – if not quite our realities – there was one red [...]

Water, water everywhere… Nope, not a blog on famous poems, simply a comment on the recent weather that’s been wreaking havoc on the British Isles.
However, the almost constant rain of the last few weeks has determined our property type this week: watermills.
A popular conversion choice, these properties are ideal for anyone who’s ever wanted to [...]

This week, a timeless classic: the mews house.
Originally built to house horses and grooms back in the day, these properties have become hugely popular dwellings.
London boasts many, many mews houses, lots of which are set in quaint little cobbled streets with a cluster of fellow mews homes as neighbours.
They’re also usually located within trotting distance [...]
