@popdown shaftesbury av one is off the list for sure. That's a really interesting perspective.
Chesterfield road in St Andrews has a busy bit where buses go down then on to Cromwell road, but a lovely quiet bit too with some ridiculous houses.This has just gone up in the good bit, but nowhere to keep/clean bikes.
This has been up since October, and has dropped 10k in that time. Way expensive for what it is even now, garage is shit and in the wrong place, it is dated (old guy lived there last 2o years and has now moved to Brighton), the outside space is weird and shit, needs bathroom/kitchen, redecorating and new light fittings, epc D, GFF has a private courtyard garden. On the plus side, could add value and next door is identical but has a converted loft

For an different perspective, I love having a shithole house that I'm completely rebuilding! Its given me a huge sense of satisfaction from learning all the skills as I go along and bringing the house back to life but exactly how I want it.
I had a smaller starting budget to this and my options were basically limited to
IMO tired houses that just need a bit of updating take much longer to do up than shithole ones because theres nothing that cant wait till next week/month. As long as you dont have kids, theres no great hardship in "camping" inside a bedroom or 2 upstairs while you take a hammer to the rest (especially with summer coming up). Once you have a bedroom as a safe space and a bathroom to keep yourself clean, the rest is just decadent luxuries.
These old Bristol victorian terraces are simple beasts made of dirt and wood and covered in countless layers of gloss paint and woodchip wallpaper. Perfect first time project houses :)
edit: but i would avoid that house in shaftesbury av tho
