Working from home - properties with potential

Working from home has never been as popular, or as easy to accomplish. Modern technology and an integrated transport network means we can be connected to clients and suppliers around the world with ease and at a minimum cost and inconvenience.

An office-based career is particular easy to manage. But what if you want something more ambitious? These three, completely different properties all have the potential to become businesses while at the same time providing family-sized living accommodation.

Take a look Iorama Lodge on Bretton Lane Crigglestone, on the market for £675,000. It has five double bedrooms and is in a semi-rural position down a private road with just short of an acre of its own private grounds. What makes it particularly interesting is the three acres of private woodland as well as paddocks which are ideal for anyone with an equestrian interest.

Downstairs there is a reception hall, formal lounge with Inglenook fireplace, a further sitting room leading to the rear garden, dining kitchen and a formal dining room.
