Downsizing, where would you live

[Brycie]

We coudl have about 350K to spend on a maybe three bedroom house anywhere. The trouble is, where. We love London and don't want to live anywhere else so of course everywhere else looks equally undesirable! What do you think, what would you do. This is not for now, this is for maybe five years time. I am planning ahead.

Thanks for the very long post! What I'm going to do, is look on rightmove and see if I can find some nice drooly properties to link to. Mmmmmmmm.

exciting! with this budget, the most drooly period flats you can find are in Bath, Bristol and Harrogate (maybe York)!
still would help to know what's important to you in terms of fthings to do in new place,

this is harrogate.. I want a house because of freehold, I don't want any lease issues

interesting but why does every refurbisher put in department store style bathrooms with that whole orange / beige thing going on

like this one - good tip on the area!

Depends on where your children are I suppose, but if you like the feel of Harogate I would take a look at Statford upon Avon. My frfiends mum downsized there and I used to visit her and be very £350K can get you a nice 3 bed place.

phwoar!!!

Golly stratford is pricey!!! just had a gawp

Hebden Bridge?
North Devon?

Norfolk is cheap with good rail links to London. I think kings Lynn to Kings X is 1 1/2 hrs

East Anglia has very cold winds in winter.

King's Lynn is horrible. Cambridge is nice though

Thanks everyone, will have more fun tomorrow night. On a quick note, Cambridge is lovely, but very pricey no? Plus from riends we've heard there just isn't the housing stock there. It's either a million pounds or you're living nowhere with transport. But I'll have another look see.

It is very expensive but you would get something for £350k.

I will have a lok, and thanks
