c. £250, CD player, decent sound for a small living room

[TVR Sagaris]

I'm sure there's been a similar topic in the past so sorry for the repetition although I think this may be slightly unusual given how rare CDs are these days.

I need a soundsystem for my c. 10ft by 15ft living room. I need a CD player (I'm old fashioned) but also ideally a laptop-connection (I don't mind if it's just through a jack output). I have absolutely no idea where to start - do I put something together myself (amp etc), or buy a package?

I've put a fairly arbitrary figure of £250 on it but I don't mind spending more than that, nor do I mind buying something secondhand. It needs to be reasonably bassy.

All suggestions welcomed.

Thanks for the help. So ignoring the CD player question for a minute (I would prefer a standalone player but as you say I can get round that fairly easily), this http://www.richersounds.com/product/amplifiers-rec... and these http://www.richersounds.com/product/standmount-spe... get good reviews at this price and I could have a proper look/listen at Richersounds as suggested.

Any better options?

Appreciate the advice and suggestions. I can see the advantages of buying secondhand from Ebay but it also seems to have become such a hassle now (especially with something that could easily end up being damaged/not as described) so I'm wary.
