£500k doesn't get you much round here.
I thought this one - 5 bed semi looked like quite a bargain, until I recognised it: it backs right on to the railway line, can only have a postage-stamp sized paved area at the back (no actual garden), and is right next to an electricity sub-station, which seems to hum as you walk past. Oh, and the lack of interior photos is not a good sign.
But no doubt someone will snap it up as this is a studenty area, and you could cram a lot of students into 5 bedrooms and two out of the three reception rooms.
A bit further down the hill, though, into a more edgy/urban area, £500k would get you this 5-bed house which looks not bad at all.
