Saffron Walden, Essex
On the road out of the town, but within walking distance of the market square, is Dobbins, a Grade II*-listed terrace house, washed in a pale, almost ghostly, pink, which is accentuated by the dark timber frame and the yellow house next door. The three-bedroom property is full of period details, with a timber archway that leads from the dining area into the sitting room with a terracotta tile floor and a log burner. There is a turquoise feature wall in the same room, picked out by the dark beams, and more pale pink in the vaulted kitchen. £450,000. Hunters, 01799 520 520
