You lovely folks from down south may need to help me out a bit here, as I have no idea where is half decent near most of that list.

The thing is Hamish, you're going to get people who will say "ew, Luton/Bedford/Stevenage/Dunstable/Wellingborough (insert name of any cheaper town) I wouldn't want to live there". However there's good and bad in any town. A lot of these are cheaper areas are very cosmopolitan, but that doesn't make them bad places to live. Move to most of them and the train and motorway links are pretty good. So if you're looking for a first step on the ladder its not too bad. You've set a tough target - well under the average for a relatively large property - but the proof is that they exist.

Bath itself has pretty high house prices for a non South East location - however you could just about scrape in the definition with this 3 bed ground floor flat in Radstock http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35118676.html which is only about 7 miles out of the centre of Bath and 20 miles out from central Bristol. That said its the only one in the entire unitary authority at the moment - another £10k would bring 5 houses into the picture.

In York itself, but I'm guessing there's better to be had within an hour of York.

Yes, going east or south of York will reveal the cheaper areas. If you go west, you're getting into Harrogate prices. Whilst York was the most expensive northern town for house prices in a relatively recent (last 12 months) survey, Harrogate certainly has its pockets!

Could you post a couple of links to the 30 mile ones in Cambridge that look decent for a young couple with kids, for example?

Well, most of those are at the 25-30 mile (and remember that's in a straight line) mark ... so most would have to be discounted as "daft to live there".... but I'd probably look first at Sawtry and Mildenhall.

Although in reality I wouldn't want to live in either

Both picked at random.... the trouble with Cambridge is that it can take you an hour to get that last 5 miles in rush hour if you're in the wrong direction.

Well it is really.

The average wage across all workers is 18-22k for 30 miles out of York. 21k for York itself. 26k full time.

So were talking 5-6x income houses here.

And if you are living 30 miles out, you can count on paying £200-250 in fuel per month to get to work in the first place.
