The ultimate fixer-upper...

A 530-year-old house in Constable country is on the market for £1.4m, but the characterful property will be a big project for the new owner.

River House is 'steeped in history' - Grade II* listed and dates from 1490 with a distinctive Tudor tower and a rare wall painting depicting life-size figures in Elizabethan dress.

But the once grand home now needs a major overhaul - it has not been lived in for more than 20 years and has no heating.
