UK - Dream locations to buy

[Turvey94]

If you had £2m and could buy 4 properties in the UK, where would you buy?

DM and I were discussing this and found it funny how similar our locations were!

Me:

Cottage in Lake District
Cottage in Cornwall
Flat in London
Flat in Edinburgh

Well I would need more than 2m but these are my dream properties

Manor House in the country ideally Somerset
Flat in Clifton, bristol
A small cottage by the sea in Cornwall
A house/cottage in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no neighbours or noise from any other human being haha

Can we up the budget?

No Hipster. Stick to the original parameters.

Why four? Wouldn't two be better?

A flat in London, and a house on the South coast on in Pembrokeshire

I'd like a house in Richmond (Surrey). Maybe on the hill or just off the green, but my hypothetical £2m wouldn't stretch to it!

@Neutrogena aw well in that case....

I'll spend £1.2m on a 2 bed flat in Hoxton.

With my remaining £800k I will have something in the New Forest, something in the Dark Peak and something in the cotswalds.

I've decided stamp duty is excluded from the budget :-)

Extend my current cottage in Snowdonia, give up work and live off the rest of the money. Renting holiday let's and hotels where ever else I wanted to go.
Second (3rd and 4th) homes ruin communities !

Haha, yes we'll pretend stamp duty doesn't exist!

Ah, how lovely you have a cottage in Snowdonia Eryi - beautiful area. Claimed Glyder Fawr last month !

Tricky one, probably Cotswolds, Wales, Lake District, Cornwall

You lot love the rain, don't you?

I'd go for one of the posh bits on the south coast, somewhere in leafy quiet surrey, somewhere on the west wales coast and that London flat.

House in Dorset, main house
House on North Antrim Coast around Ballycastle
Flat in Bath
House on North Devon coast

Or flat in Oxford

definitely a flat in London as central as possible would spend the most on it
then a little holiday place overlooking the sea in Tenby
a small house in my home town Crickhowell
a little place in Scotland by the lakes

Minimalist crash pad-London
Posh beach hut-Cornwall
Main house 4 bed large stone cottage modern but with character and some land -Peak District
Tiny but cute cottage- Robin Hood's Bay

New Forest (around Lymington) or Chichester
Flat in Brighton

Where is the £2m OP?? As you can see, I clearly need it!

Not to nitpick pieceofpurplesky but your place has no mooring which I find strange given the location and mention of "mooring opportunities" - sounds like ask the neighbour to me. That'd be some parking thread though, wouldn't it?!

I think this is part of reason why London is so expensive - everyone wants in

GPlan Oh my goodness, all those properties are beautiful!

I want that cottage in Bristol !!

Haha, I think we should make a pact - if either of us get £4m it's getting split on dream properties

I would buy this
Lumsdale House, Upper Lumsdale, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4

And save the rest for hotels so I can visit different places

Don't laugh -
All th houses along there have mooring. I would have some spare cash out of the two million to build one, a boat house and but a boat!

Well then, I'll sleep well knowing you'll have somewhere for the yacht!
