As the pictures show, it’s in a perfectly liveable state, albeit full of the sort of quirky design and decor you see on one of those Netflix shows with a faux-1980s vibe.
The value here is simply astonishing, though, from the basement gym to the giant chessboard in the garden. And if you’re wondering if WFH is a possibility, wonder no more: the agents report that there is high-speed 78MBPs broadband.

Belford, Northumberland — £375,000
No, don’t get too excited: the purchase price doesn’t get you the whole place, but it does still stretch to a very decent, 1,600 sq ft chunk of this Georgian country house not far from Belford.
There are two bedrooms in this beautifully-decorated first floor apartment, which also has use of some wonderful communal areas — and 27 acres of grounds and parkland.
If you’re worried about buying a flat that’s one among many Air BNBs, fret not: use of these apartments as commercial lets is prohibited by the terms of the lease. This is strictly either a full-time residence or a second home.

Harwich, Essex — £425,000
Tiptoeing a little over the budget, but too nice to ignore, this five-bedroom period townhouse (dating to 1735) is in the centre of Harwich.
From the outside it looks like a house that’s escaped from a Dickensian novel, while inside there are all sorts of character features, from polished floorboards to fireplaces and plasterwork.
There’s also an attractive garden at the back — quite a find given the town centre location — while London is under and hour and a half away.
