Grade II-listed Kemp Town Enclosures is a collection of urban gardens laid out in the 1820s in the centre of town. Overlooking them is a stucco-fronted Victorian mansion block (Kingscliffe Court) and within it a ground-floor apartment. The three-bedroom home has been sensitively renovated in a neutral palette with a flow of rooms through curved archways. The reception room has a large inglenook fireplace under a craggy oak beam and a separate galley kitchen. It is just a road back from the Marine Parade and the route of the Brighton Marathon. £550,000.Inigo, 020 3687 3071Photograph: Inigo
Satron, North Yorkshire
In the Swaledale valley of the Yorkshire Dales, between Skipton and Barnard Castle, and on the banks of the River Swale, is this quiet spot nestled in the moorland hillside decorated with dry stone walls. It is the beautiful setting of the Swaledale Marathon, which has been running since 1979, one for the fell, not flat, runner. In this hamlet is a stone-built farmhouse with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception rooms. There are countryside views from every window. The village of Gunnerside is in walking distance. £850,000. Fine & Country, 0330 166 4646Photograph: Fine & Country
