If you’re not really one for the bog standard ‘two-up, two-down’ house or like the idea of living somewhere slightly unique, then this week’s property picture gallery could be right up your street. We’ve sifted through some of the more curious and quirky residences on sale at the moment.

The Malt House in Grange Lane, Lichfield, is a unique, individually styled, detached dwelling with parts dating from the 17th century.

The property is located at the end of a private road, just a short distance from the city centre, and enjoys magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.
