Pastel-coloured homes for sale in England, Scotland and Wales
Despite recent news stories saying that some residents are painting their properties black to deter influencers and tourists from posing outside, this is still very much an area loved for its colourful streets. This majestic Victorian home is over five floors and painted blue, with window frames and pillars picked out in white. The kitchen-diner runs the entire length of the lower-ground floor and opens on to the garden. There's a sauna on the first floor but the crowning glory is the decked roof terrace and Jacuzzi. £4.95m.

The old planning office for Millers shipbuilders, right on the picturesque harbourfront, dates to the 18th century and is rendered in cream with a soft green trim running around the windows and door. B-listed, the characterful property has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are views of the sea from every room through leaded sash windows. St Monans is a historic fishing village 12 miles south of St Andrews, 'the home of golf', and is considered a real East Neuk gem. It sits on the Fife coastal path from Elie to Pittenweem. £315,000.

Suffolk pink, a very particular traditional shade, was first developed in the 14th century and is today fiercely protected by curators, councils and residents of the county. This timber-framed home, the Sparrows Nest, is younger than its famous colour, dating back to the 17th century, and has a new thatch and an extension added 15 years ago. A double-aspect sitting room is centred around a large inglenook fireplace. The garden circles the house and has views across neighbouring fields on the edge of the village eight miles from Newmarket. £550,000. Bedfords, 01284 769 999 Photograph: Bedfords
Brynymor House was built in 1800, when this was one of the busiest ports and trading hubs in Wales, as a trophy home to symbolise the wealth and status of the sea captain who would live there. In a soft yellow, the Grade II*-listed Georgian pile covers four floors and sits on the edge of the Teifi estuary. Almost two hectares (4.5 acres) of grounds stretch out on all sides, mostly woodland, with formal gardens at the front that run down to the water. There's a kitchen garden and a handcrafted greenhouse, as well as a stone barn. £1.8m. Country Living Group, 01437 616101 Photograph: Country Living Group
The entrance of this mint green Grade II-listed terrace cottage opens into the large reception room full of period features. From here there are steps leading down to the basement and stairs up to the next level. Further on is the kitchen, the showpiece of the house, with bespoke cabinets and marble worktops. The garden is mostly lawn, and there is an outbuilding with a washroom, a large summerhouse and a hot tub. Be aware that there is a right of way across the back garden for the neighbouring property via a gate. £650,000. Mullucks, 01799 520 520
