Cross the border into Wales, and you’ll find pockets of ridiculously cheap charm. The valleys and northern coasts have properties that start from around £40,000. Imagine owning a stone cottage with a view of rolling green hills for less than the price of a new car.
Sure, you might have to drive a bit to reach a supermarket, but who needs a big store when you have fresh air and a garden? Plus, the community spirit in these areas is legendary. You’ll know your neighbours by name, not just by their barking dog.
