Seems a lot of house (and a Morris car) for the money. You could spend that on a 3 bed city centre apartment elsewhere!

It's cheap oop North.
I used to live in a small village which is a former asylum split in to mews houses, and has new builds round it, surrounded by parkland and mature trees. There are a few people in the village who drive 20 minutes to the train station then get a train which takes 1.5 hours to get to Kings Cross.
They do this every day.
WHY?
They have five bedroomed houses (with double garages, for PH points) backing on to fields that cost less than half a million, and are in a catchment area for one of the best schools in the country.

Well, yes - but the other side of it is that furnishing, running and maintaining that house would cost a small fortune, and take a lot of time. Looking after the garden would be a significant job.

Although the house is nice, parts of it look like it was styled on reasonably priced hotels.

Probably about as much as the service charge on a 3 bed £1.5m apartment....

Thanks for drawing my attention to this. I'm currently in the market for somewhere for my valet's gardener to live. This might suit.

Yep, plenty for your money. I'd live there too, if it wasn't for the weather. Unfortunately I was born in the south and have grown too used to mild weather at worst. I do wonder if there'll be more people moving north as the south east gets ever more congested but I suspect they might go west before they go north.
