I bought the house in Whiterun, only to find out that it doesn't have the option to buy an Enchanting table (though it does have alchemy and access to a full smithy next door).
If I'm going to buy another house, I want to make sure it has access to all the crafting stations. So which houses have which upgrades?

Every home except for the house in Whiterun has an Enchanting Table upgrade availiable, as well as the option to procure Alchemical facilities.
If you want a home with a Smithy, you must have the Hearthfire DLC installed. This allows you to buy land and build a house in 3 holds: Falkreath, Morthal, and Danwstar. There you can build your own smithy. Other than that, there are no houses with forges in vanilla Skyrim. Riften and Whiterun offer the most convenient access to forge facilities, though Riften's forge lacks Smelting equipment.
4It seems that every other house has an enchanting table upgrade available for it. The cheapest of these are for 8000g in Markarth or Riften.
It would appear, however, that Alchemy, Enchanting, and Cooking are the only crafting stations available in any house. You'll still need to find a blacksmith for everything else.
See Skyrim Houses wiki for more details.
3Except for in the dragonborn dlc of course! In that dlc after you start off in solstheim the first town you run into is raven rock. And after you do some investigation on a character I cant remember, they give you a house with all three
