5. Propertyin Threlkeld, near Keswick, Lake District, for £60,000

Essentially a barn - specifically a sandstone farm building with a slate roof - this is a rare opportunity to buy an old joiners' workshop in the centre of Threlkeld Village in Cumbria. Inside are two rooms with original oak beams.

The property (above) has stood unused for at least 40 years, and is surrounded by open fields with views of the Cumbrian Fells. The agent says while the property would 'create a lovely one-bedroom home' planning consent is needed before conversion/renovation can begin.

6. Three-bedroomterraced house, Docklands, London, for £395,000

With its avocado-coloured bathroom, faux teak cabinets and retro tiles in the kitchen, this house is crying out for a complete overhaul.

Apart from the potential to add value through renovation, the terraced property is handily situated a short distance from the Thames and London City Airport.
