But this is our top pick for the week: A three bed apartment in a Georgian building in Trinity Close. This is being marketed by Ashby estate agent John German at £425,000.

The property is part of the Georgian Hill House, which is a grade II listed building, which has been converted into four individual period homes.

This is how John German estate agent describes the apartment.

Arranged across the ground floor the spacious living space is accessed from a wide welcoming central hallway. The formal drawing room is a real 'wow' reception room with its 11' high grand cornice ceilings, stone open fireplace and fabulous wide bay window with fitted window seats.

Equally impressive is the master bedroom, matching the drawing room for size and character, again having a feature fireplace.

Two further very large double bedrooms complete the sleeping arrangements. Bedroom three having a tall picture bay sash window whilst bedroom two has dual aspect windows and feature herringbone parquet wooden floor.
