That is our current budget. Love the area we are in and we tied down to it for now but sometimes I feel frustrated with the size of our house. Its small.

So just been nosy (and sort of daydreaming where we could move to when we are older and freer) what would £350k get you were you live?

my house probably - Cambridge commuter village, detached, 10-15 years old, 4 bed (ensuite to main), 3 reception rooms, kitchen + conservatory/breakfast room, utility. Detached garage & reasonable sized garden. Note on the market, but could be if I see anything I would like to move to.

or this

I don't live here yet, but will later this year. It's just darling.

the Old Hall, or maybe Nursery Cottage.

Here, it would get you loads of space and greenery and completely residential.

Like this 4 beds, two with ensuites, massive big thing

Another but with 5 beds

We're in a suburb of Manchester and you get a three bed for £350k here. You'd be looking at half a million for a nice four bed sadly. But I will console myself with the fact my London friend has just bought a one bedroom attic flat for exactly £350k in London. grin

Dont know why I put London twice there... work has addled my brain.

This in my area.

Not very inspiring is it? Some of the things on here make me want to weep. The train station will be a Crossrail stop though so it would be a good time to buy it.

only a 1 bed flat round my way !

You can get a 2 bed- 3 bed property in the 'Village'
You can get a 5-6 bed if you move a 15 min walk from the tube.

I live in Walthamstow.

In the city probably a done up 3 bed semi or terrace or a bigger doer upper, in the community belt a nice detached 4/5 bed house in immaculate condition (NE Scotland)

Thanks for all the links so far! Im swinging between thinking "my goodness you fit our entire house into that on 1 and half times" to "thats tiny, our house is a palace compared to that! "

Christmas if your buying that "old hall" I be very happy to visit you this Christmas smile

2 bed flat here in ascot - which is why we have to rent! I do often look wistfully at properties near my friend up north that seem to have 5 beds and room to swing a cat for less.

On our estate there is the middle gap too.
3 bed townhouses for £250-300 depending on location/size
Then the next jump is to the smaller 4 bed detached houses which would be about £450.
