Where can you buy a detached property in England for under £160,000?

Prices reflect what people want, so all you are saying is that others want what you want.

I know.

It must help to have more "unusual" tastes/wishes - for things that no-one much else wants. Not a lot of good having pretty common tastes if you hate having to compete for things.:cool: (houses/jobs/whatever....).

Forget about finding a 2/3 bed detached around London and Essex for less than £200k. It's almost impossible!

There is one place in Essex, but it's cheap for 2 reasons, begins with a J and the OP has ruled it out.

Neither do I, but that said, many properties I've viewed have been places with farm animals, or worse still, equestrian.

Did you ever come across any houses with the horse stabled in the living room?

Not quite, but I've seen chickens in the kitchen and other beasts very close. My current property had an open-sided tin shack built on the end, where the previous occupants milked their cow.

What I meant is that equestrians almost invariably look after their horses and stables far better than their houses, while their hobby also eats-up huge amounts of spare cash, meaning that making-do at home becomes second nature.

Of course the really wealthy ones are not necessarily like that, but their houses are in a different league.
