"Along an oak-lined lane is an 18th-century farmhouse in a yellow ochre limewash with a string of outbuildings. It sits in five hectares (12.5 acres) nestled on the lower rises of Mynydd Figyn, part of the Cambrian range in west Wales. It has been sympathetically renovated. The kitchen has a flagstone floor and lime plastered walls in neutral tones with traditional freestanding units, stone sink and cream Aga. What was the dairy is a walk-in pantry."
"In the heart of the village, opposite the green, is a sprawling 17th-century trophy home believed to date back to 1648. It has a vast, vaulted Elizabethan hall under oak-framed beams with a large brick fireplace. There are six bedrooms and the same number of bathrooms. Sitting in 0.5 hectares (1.4 acres) that wrap around the house, the gardens have a tennis court, heated outdoor, a spring-fed pond and an ancient willow tree."
"Right opposite Kew Gardens is a three-double-bedroom, two-bathroom top-floor apartment in a converted period house. Through a little white picket gate, the property is built in a sandy-coloured brick with sash windows. It is a short walk to Kew Green with its chic stores and restaurants, just before Kew Bridge. The closest railway station is North Sheen. Kew Gardens arboretum, stretching across two-thirds of the site, has 11,000 trees and 2,000 species, with trees that date back to the 18th century."
