I am mid fifties and want a new start. No family support. AIBU to think I can find a house by the sea or in a low-crime market town with a maximum budget of £250k? Any ideas?
YABU - budget is too low
YANBU - these places exist

Ooh I’d love to do a rightmove search! What size? Any particular areas?

Thanks! 3 bed preferably for home working but 2 beds would be OK in the right area. Library, swimming pool or sea, not a city person, not keen on run down seaside towns like Rhyl, Blackpool or Skegness, open to anywhere in England, Wales, possibly Scotland.
