Proving that you don't need a bulging bank account to buy a large and impressive home, this red-brick Victorian property is up for grabs for just £66,200 ($80k). Nestled on a quiet residential street in the Emily Kimbrough Historic District of the city of Muncie, Indiana, the historic residence was constructed in 1900 and offers a beautiful exterior, a spacious garden and a large interior. Let's take a closer look...

The front door opens into a bright hallway, decorated with an impressive hand-carved timber staircase. The space flows through to numerous living rooms, a dining room and kitchen. In total, there's 3,189 square feet of inside space and every room is brimming with gorgeous historic details, from hardwood floors to original wood doors, built-in cabinetry, panelled walls, full-height sash windows and tiled fireplaces. 

Upstairs, there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms, all of which are a great size. According to the listing, there’s also an additional bathroom and bedroom that were started and planned out, but not completed. There’s even a large attic level that could easily be transformed into a beautiful master suite, fit for a VIP.

Head outside and you'll find a leafy, quarter-acre backyard with mature trees and a secure fence, so there's plenty of room for further development. Flanking the house, there are also two exterior porches where you could while away the hours. What's more, for your money you'll also gain a historic carriage house, which offers even more accommodation – a potential holiday home or long-term rental perhaps?

Positioned in the city of Marshall, Texas, this charming painted lady has it all. Sprawling 3,698 square feet, the home boasts no end of kerb appeal, a leafy garden and an interior overflowing with personality. Plus, it's on the market with Century 21 for a mere £140,000 ($169k).

The Victorian property, known as The Heard House, was finished in 1874 and though it has been updated over the years, there's still some work that's needed to bring it back to its former glory. Selling points include the home's hardwood floors, original light fixtures, pretty fireplaces and oversized windows, which allow in plenty of natural light. 

The light-filled entrance foyer features a prominent staircase, beautiful crown mouldings and a grand chandelier, as well as several living areas, a dining room, kitchen, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. The new owner may choose to keep the quirky paintwork found in some of the rooms, including baby pink and emerald green walls.

The two-storey home also benefits from a bright attic space that could make an incredible master suite. French doors on the ground floor open up to a covered back porch, which overlooks the fenced backyard. Ideally located, the historic home is just down the road from three iconic local attractions, Caddo Lake, Lake O' The Pines and Martin Creek Lake, making it ideal for lovers of the great outdoors.

If you're in the market for a large property that you can put your own stamp on, then how about this former inn in the Vogelsberg District of Hesse, Germany? For sale with Engel & Völkers for around £154,000 ($186k), or €178,000 in the local currency, the building was constructed in 1820 and sits on a generous lot that measures more than 21,000 square feet.

The property is a listed building, so any renovation works would need to be approved by the right authorities. Yet there's plenty on offer to make the task well worthwhile. The home covers more than 3,700 square feet, thanks to two extensions that were carried out in 1977 and 1999.

The historic home features 10 rooms across its three floors, including a lounge, kitchen, dining room and two bathrooms. There's even a basement with three cellar rooms, which offer the potential to create more living space. Though spacious and bright, the interior is awash with retro furnishings and fixtures, and clearly needs a little modernisation to bring it up to date.

The ground floor also offers a former restaurant, which means the new owner could create a thriving business too. As well as the large main house, the property also comes complete with several outbuildings, including a workshop and barn that's ripe for conversion into a characterful home.

The ultimate dream home, this stunning historic residence in North Dansville, a town in Livingston County, New York, could be yours for just £161,000 ($195k).

The property was built in 1900 and benefits from a stunning exterior, encircled by a pretty wraparound porch. Step inside and you'll find large, light-filled living areas that blend modern touches with vintage elements, including hardwood floors, tiled fireplaces and bay windows. 

Across the two levels, there's a large foyer, a living area, modern kitchen, formal dining room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a two-bedroom in-law suite with its own kitchen, laundry space and bathroom. 

All the rooms are large and airy, providing idyllic views across the home's sizeable backyard.

For sale with Compass for just under £190,400 ($230k), the property has a light-filled and spacious interior that spans 3,776 square feet across two floors. There's a large family room, a dining room, a huge country-style kitchen, a snug den with a rough stone fireplace, a sunroom, six bedrooms and four bathrooms.

While the property hasn’t been updated in a while – check out those frilly lace curtains – the bones of the structure appear to be excellent, so any renovation works would likely be cosmetic. Period details include the home’s glossy timber floors, original built-in cabinetry, large bay windows and exposed ceiling beams.

The home's six bedrooms are all spacious and airy, featuring high ceilings and ample glazing. Though in need of modernisation, it isn't hard to imagine how nice this space could be after a sensitive revamp. What's more, the property also benefits from a 2.6-acre garden filled with peach trees and blueberry bushes, plus it's just moments away from Owego Creek, which is home to pretty waterfalls, scenic walking trails and excellent fishing spots.

It also has several living rooms, a bright basement and a double attached garage.

The residence has a sprawling retro kitchen that offers plenty of room for improvement. Like the rest of the spaces in the house, the kitchen needs a serious makeover and currently features dated cabinetry and a rather unique ceiling.  

The home also offers some seriously amazing vintage bathrooms, one of which benefits from a step-up tub and a huge vanity with a marble counter. Outside, the garden stretches across two lots and comes equipped with a lovely deck overlooking the lawn.

Listed with Coldwell Banker for just over £223,500 ($270k), this stately Victorian home is overflowing with potential. The prominent residence sits on a lush lot in the quaint village of Ashland, which lies in Cass County, Illinois. The home's main selling point is its incredible façade, which boasts a fairytale turret, endless windows and pretty brickwork. 

Originally built in 1890, the home has been lovingly preserved over the years, so every room offers attractive period details that are in excellent condition. There's an airy entrance hall complete with a winding timber staircase, a living room, dining room, office and kitchen, as well as five bedrooms and three bathrooms. 

Every room is spacious and filled with natural light but the interior could do with modernising, thanks to the old-fashioned wallpapers and furnishings. But as soon as you lay eyes on the gorgeous woodwork, hardwood floors, solid oak pocket doors, bay windows and delicate light fixtures, it isn’t hard to imagine how lovely the house could be.

Other selling points include the home’s recently updated kitchen, which now offers granite counters and flooring, a huge walk-in pantry and newer appliances. There’s also a walk-up attic with plenty of storage space, as well as zoned heating and cooling systems, a detached garage with a work room, and beautiful exterior landscaping. What more could you want?

Those house-hunting in Scotland may like the look of this impressive, statuesque stone villa. Positioned in the city of Perth, minutes from the River Tay, the grand residence was once two semi-detached villas that were later converted into one large home. It's so big it could easily be converted back into two separate houses – or kept as one incredible family residence.

As well as its imposing stone façade, the villa also benefits from a sprawling interior that stretches 3,300 square feet across two levels. The home's dual front doors lead into double vestibules and through to a large hallway, finished with two symmetrical staircases. From there, you'll find two living rooms, a spacious dining room, a kitchen, laundry room, nine bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

Big but affordable, the property was used as a guest house for many years, which means there’s potential here for the new owner to continue the business. However, some work is needed to make the interior a little more modern. There are some lovely historic touches throughout that would be worth keeping, however. These include curving bay windows, pretty ceiling cornices and timber sash windows.

As well as plenty of inside space, the house also offers a driveway to the front and a small yard area to the rear, where a shed can be found – the perfect home office, perhaps? Available via Aberdein Considine for £240,000 ($290k), this historic home is also an absolute bargain. Are you up to the task of bringing it up to scratch? 

Named the Redmond House, this Canadian property is located in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, and was completed in 1914 by W.J. Redmond. The characterful home has been lovingly restored to showcase its beauty, but there's still plenty of opportunities for the new owner to put their own stamp on the place.

As well as a large front yard and idyllic porch, the house also offers an impressive interior that measures 3,054 square feet. Every room is kitted out with one-of-a-kind details, including stamped tin ceilings, lovely woodwork, glossy hardwood floors, brick fireplaces, pretty window seats and built-in closets.

When it comes to the floor plan, there are dual parlours with wood-burning fireplaces, a dining room that can seat 12 comfortably, a kitchen with two pantries, six bedrooms and five bathrooms. There's even a finished basement, with a family room, laundry zone and multiple storage spaces. Most of the upstairs rooms are a little uninspiring and could do with a makeover to make them as lovely as the home's exterior. 

Outside, there's a quarter-acre backyard complete with a privacy fence, lawn, flowerbeds, a vegetable garden and a dining patio. If you've got CAD$410,950 – that's £263,000 ($318k) – going spare, then this impressive home could soon be yours.

Listed with Georgesons Estate Agents for £295,000 ($356k), the property, known as Bank House, features beautifully retained period features throughout, as well as modern and spacious rooms that only need minor cosmetic work.
