It&#8217;s got exposed beams a plenty, a lovely mature garden, four bedrooms and views across fields. It&#8217;s a box ticker for families looking to move to the country, but start flicking through the paint charts and interior magazines because there&#8217;s a bit of work to do first. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="£750,000 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://chewtonrose.co.uk/search/?IsPurchase=True&amp;Location=Winkfield%2C+Windsor%2C+UK&amp;SearchDistance=1&amp;Latitude=51.4420486&amp;Longitude=-0.6975153&amp;MinPrice=&amp;MaxPrice=&amp;MinimumBeds=&amp;SortBy=&amp;Page=1&amp;NumberOfResults=0&amp;Stc=True" target="_blank">£750,000</a>.</p>

The plot is just under an acre and currently offers 4,000 square feet of accommodation that&#8217;s screaming to be pulled into the 21st century. Uniquely, it is just off Kintbury high street but set off the road with a gravel drive and large garden. This could be a stonking family home with a little TLC. Give it a facelift or tear it down and start again, the choice is yours. It&#8217;s on the market at £900,000.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re not remotely phased by a big project, then converting not one but <a href="https://www.struttandparker.com/properties/warren-house-road-7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="five period barns – including a grade II listed Great Barn (opens in a new tab)">five period barns – including a grade II listed Great Barn</a>. *Gulp*. Located on the outskirts of Wokingham, projects like this rarely pop up – but this one with a rich royal history that connect it to Henry VIII is a diamond in the rough. You&#8217;ll need a cool £1.3m to buy it with full planning permission granted, but there&#8217;s profit to be made. </p>
