What can you buy for less than the average house price?
If you’ve been searching for your next home, you’ll know that the average asking price in Great Britain has continued to rise this year. Last month we saw the average price of a home reach £367,000.
But the types of property you can buy for this amount, or less, are anything but average. From terraced family homes with suntrap gardens, to historical hideaways brimming with unique character, here are just some of the amazing homes you can buy for less than the national average asking price.
Take a look at these homes currently for sale.
The page-turners’ paradise
With its pretty courtyard to the rear and impressive bay frontage, this Victorian three-bedroom home is found in a quiet Liverpool suburb. Take a favourite read to the bespoke ‘book nook’, relax in the roll-top bath, and watch the light flood in through the huge sash windows.
The charming country cottage
Found in the heart of the Cheshire village of Shocklach, this three-bedroom home dates back to the mid-19th century. Inside, there’s an atmospheric brick fireplace, chunky beams and original quarry tiles, plus there’s a pond in the garden.
The fishing village hideaway
This postcard-worthy cottage sits in the fishing village of Staithes in North Yorkshire. Exposed stonework, original beams and whitewashed wood add to the decidedly nautical feel, and pretty latticed windows frame views down the high street. Despite sitting right in the centre of the village, this home comes with its own private parking space.
A modern home with a sun-trap garden
Set on the fringes of the Yorkshire countryside, this modern three-bedroom home has lots of built-in storage and a bright, sky-lit lounge. Expansive bi-fold doors open out onto the private, sun-trap garden, which has a paved area for entertaining, and a row of sleeper raised beds.
Live the village life near the coast
Found on a pretty row of cottages in Devon, this two-bedroom home has a bijou front courtyard lined with stone planters, and a lush communal garden out the back. Find a modern, open-plan-living setup downstairs, and two bathrooms.
