To ask where you'd live?

[EscapeAnywhere]

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?

[singingismypassion]

For £250k you won't get much in many of the suggested locations, sadly.

I think I would opt for Wales or Scotland. Remote and coastal

[Mrscog]

Think I’d stick with where I am now - Worcester!

As I have said CARLISLE and surrounding areas, it’s a great place, just off the m6, close enough to Newcastle and Glasgow airports, not a bad drive to Manchester either, it’s a nice city, v pretty and historical. Near to Lake District so PLENTY to do and see!! The people are lovely you’ll get a 4 bed detached for that price no bother!!

Somewhere like this.

And there'd be enough left over to redecorate the dining room, change the curtains etc, to pay for a cleaner 3-4 hours a week, and maybe buy a car? .

Scotland

[DevaDiva]

Chester, Handbridge or Hoole.

[sproutsandparsnips]

Carmarthenshire

[madcatladyforever]

Anywhere on the south downs national park.

[anniehm]

Where you can buy outright a nice home! Rather liking the ne at present as I could buy a row of houses!

[OrangeCinnamon]

The whole of the South is not as expensive as some make out ...

I would hate to live in Chichester traffic a nightmare and a bit soulless, no diversity very twee

I'd go somewhere on coast definitely but avoid touristy areas.

[GiveMyHeadPeaceffs]

Holywood, Co Down or the north coast NI. Frankly, if I could afford it, I'd have properties in both areas. NI is a hidden gem with beautiful scenery and Belfast is a great city with lots happening.

[cheesenpickles]

@OrangeCinnamon the roundabouts! The roundabouts! And the roundabout of death by Tesco.

[Linzbe]

I've lived on the south coast since I was born (not too far west of Brighton) and I wouldn't change it! If I had to move, as long as I was on a coast line I'd be happy!

[SnowyAlpsandPeaks]

Wales? Somewhere like Abergavenny, Crickhowell, you could get a decent place for that money. Lots of mountains, rivers and lakes. Good shopping not far away. Railway station. 40 mins drive to Cardiff.

[Dieu]

Stockbridge in Edinburgh. Voted by the Times as the best place to live. Has been on Location several times. Unfortunately you will have to double your budget though ...

[Meangirls36]

Kendal in the lake District.

Northumberland

[IncrediblySadToo]

£250,000 End Of. Or would you get a mortgage?
