£250,000 will buy you a grade ii listed 5 bed terrace next to ofsted outstanding schools and walking distance to the station.
+ York 30 minutes train.
Lake District 1 hour by car
Dales 30 minutes
Moors 30 minutes
Granted Teesside is 10 minutes away but you can't have everything.Last edited by eek; 15 July 2013, 10:28.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
