If you could move anywhere (in the UK)?
You don't have DC (yet) or any family commitments, work from home, and have about £250k in savings to buy a house. Where would you settle?

A large house in the countryside somewhere.

Surrey Hills, New Forest or Chichester
I can't decide on just one sorry, would need to go on location, location, location.

I know!

I'm that conflicted that I'm actually quite prepared to go with the MN most popular choice!

South Devon. I’d compromise house size for a sea view. I would so love to be able to sit my own lounge with a coffee watching the sea. That is my one property ambition. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a pokey flat or a large & beautiful house 😁.

South Lakes/North Lancashire. Kirkby Lonsdale or nearby.

Ashbourne or nice wee Peaks town.

Helmsley in North Yorkshire.

Am a big fan of a little market town.

Is that your whole budget? If so it writes of most of the South east and home counties. Durham is beautiful

Where I currently am, small town in between bigger towns, all amenities on the doorstep, close to 4 major cities. Beautiful part of the country, nice community feel but not suffocating.

It depends what you want out of life? Big city? Quiet rural area?

Love where I live. Largish village. River. Hills. Railway. Oxford. London. Community. Pretty and practical.

250k not going to buy anything though.

As a city I've always quite fancied Bristol. Wouldn't want to be anywhere more rural than I am now, however beautiful.
