In October the average UK property price topped £270,000 for the first time, according to Halifax. In Smith’s Dock that buys a fourth-floor, three-bedroom apartment with huge windows overlooking the River Tyne. A Victorian shipyard that has been converted into a neighbourhood with family homes designed by Channel 4’s resident architect George Clarke, it sits on the estuary as the river meets the North Sea within Fish Quay, teeming with bars and restaurants. Nearby is Longsands beach, a favourite with surfers. £270,000. Sanderson Young, 0191 213 0033

New Town, Edinburgh

This conservation area is a Unesco world heritage site because of its neo-classical architecture, and 18th and 19th century town planning.

Down some steps is the private courtyard entrance, with room for outdoor seating. A glass door leads into the living area. Timber-effect laminate flooring runs throughout the newly painted flat. £275,000. Coulters, 0131 6037 333

Well situated, it is a short stroll one way to the lawn tennis club and rugby club and a 10-minute walk in the other direction to the railway station, where trains run to London Victoria. The town sits just below the Surrey Hills area of outstanding natural beauty, close to the National Trust’s Box Hill, popular with cyclists. £275,000. Jackson Stops, 01737 222 027

Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire

The fourth-floor apartment has a separate kitchen and bathroom, in a building with a concierge service and lift. It sits on a strip of boutiques, bars and restaurants that run from Brompton Road to King’s Road. There’s a Daylesford Organic farmshop, Gaucho and Tokyo Sukiyaki Tei on the doorstep, and Daphne’s restaurant is great for people watching. £285,000. Foxtons, 020 7591 9000
