  • Culford, Suffolk

    Dating from 1890, this water tower was designed by architect William Young and the cast iron tank by H Young & Co (which also produced the sphinxes at Cleopatra’s Needle). In 2010 it was converted into a four-/five-bedroom home. The sitting room and master suite, on the top two floors, have a 360-degree view of surrounding fields. The property also includes a one-bed annexe and barn. £1m. David Burr, 01284 725 525

  • Oddington, Gloucestershire

    Millway Tower – on an elevated plot just south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold in an area of outstanding natural beauty – originates from 1307 and is believed to have served the monks of Maugersbury as a saw mill. It has been extended and transformed into a contemporary four-bedroom home with Cotswold stonework, curved joinery, a bespoke kitchen and limestone floors. The house is surrounded by mature landscaped gardens including a large south-facing terrace off the main reception room. £2m. Knight Frank, 01451 600 610

  • Old Street, London

    On the axis of Shoreditch, Islington, Farringdon and the City, the 40-storey Atlas Building (developed by the aptly named Rocket Properties) is primarily aimed at wealthy City workers who can also play hard in the night spots nearby. For sale is a sleek, three-bedroom apartment with a large open-plan living space and two private balconies with far-reaching views. Residents have access to a fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, spa, a private cinema room and a 24-hour concierge. £1.93m. JLL Residential, 0203 553 6811

  • Knutsford, Cheshire

    English designer Richard Harding Watt worked with architects to create unusual buildings specifically in Knutsford. This Italianate tower house is one. Two bedrooms and the living areas are split over the ground and upper ground floors while the top four floors of the tower have three more bedrooms, a bathroom and sauna. The agent describes it as an “interesting and versatile layout”. £675,000. Savills Knutsford, 01565 632 618

    Gallowhill Hall, thought to have been built in 1888, is a substantial renovated large Victorian country house, which includes the tower containing a bedroom, private reading room and a study on the top floor with 360-degree views over the surrounding countryside. The grand residence, seven miles from the market town of Morpeth, has huge, elegant rooms, a lovely orangery, a gravelled driveway and circular courtyard with central stone water feature, and 0.5 hectares (1.34 acres) of gardens with a summer house and triple garage. £1.37m.
