Cornwall- a 4 bed detached house overlooking countryside. Somewhere on the coast it would be a 3 bed end of terrace
Should add that not much needs doing although you may want to put your own stamp on the properties. May need a new kitchen or bathroom but not urgently

Here in Suffolk it will get a 4 bedroom detached.
Not in this part of Suffolk. It would get you a 3 bed semi here.

A one bedroom flat in a nice modern block that has no EWS1 certificate and the work is rumoured to be mega expensive (> 75K / flat). On the market to cash buyers only. Pre EWS1 scandal similar flats sold for 550+

Or a 2bed ex-local authority flat that needs fully refurbished/ gutted.

Three-four bedroom detached house, with garden and off-road parking. (In East Anglia)
