https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/155327210?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY It's an auction so will probably go for a lot more than that & clearly needs work, but it's 3 bedroom, lovely town & right in the middle of England. No train station though, you'd probably need to be able to drive.

What do you need to be near? Do you drive? If not that’s important you’re near amenities. Do you like town, countryside? What do you do in you day to day?

In South Wales certainly they're going to be in the absolute shittest areas of hell hole towns up the valleys or in the grimmest areas. People have already posted some houses in terrible places in s wales that no one wants to live in, because they're so awful. If any of the people suggesting these places knew anything at all about the areas they wouldn't be recommending the OP live there, I can guarantee.

north Yorkshire within 40 miles has lots around 60k

Castle Douglas is a nice wee place https://espc.com/property/1-rowena-place-king-street-castle-douglas-dg7-1hb/36237243?sid=130066

Is neither shit or grim.

This shared ownership is in the SW, it’s a bit above budget but you may find a smaller shared ownership place a bit cheaper.

Would you be able to get a place in an almshouse? Check this website for almshouses near you. https://www.almshouses.org/#:~:text=Almshouses%20are%20a%20charitable%20form,made%20up%20of%20local%20volunteers.
Alrernatively, Do you or family have links to the military? They have various supported/ charitable housing schemes around the country. I know that because the Secretary where I worked was married to an ex forces and she said they had housing available but had trouble finding suitable people ( ie people who were not going to be any trouble, upset elderly residents etc , to fill the vacancies in the housing scheme he volunteered at.

They’re not all awful! The link in Carmarthen, S Wales I posted above looks lovely! I’d live in that flat myself. I grew up nearby and my husband is from Carmarthen itself. We visit several times a year. It’s nice, I promise! If anything a bit posh. Lovely little community and has an M&S and everything 👍

They can be cheap because they aren’t the SE of England. I bought mine, 4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 2 cellar rooms at the back, plus one at the side which was a coal shed, for 55k . Can park a dozen cars in my garden at the back. Quiet area. Countryside views. Thousands of acres of hills to walk just over the road to the front, or forests at the back of me. Ok, not a lot of amenities here, but they aren’t far away. I go to the theatre, the beach, pubs, restaurants, cinemas. There’s a sense of community. You can get help from the community if you move in to say, a council house with nothing. Free fridge, suites, beds, etc. we had 2 such cases in the last month. I can leave my doors unlocked if I go out.

Long shot but if you can prove you have Huguenot ancestry there is a Huguenot housing scheme in Rochester, Kent https://frenchhospital.org.uk

Interesting. What are reciprocal health agreements? I don't think Italy would accept disabled lady

This is a really nice ground floor flat with garage and garden in a very pretty village with cafes and NT properly and village in bloom awards. Shopping centre + library nearby, and good bus links. It is on a private estate with semi detached houses and safe area. Would recommended having a look at this and the area.

This is in a decent area of Doncaster.

@beeloubee do you have any requirements to do with your health? e.g. do you need to be near a good hospital? Or on the group floor etc?
