Property is cheap in Withernsea, as illustrated by this huge eight-bedroom brick home on sale for £249,950. Previously a pair of semi-detached houses, the building used to be a residential home for the elderly so may need some work to be converted into a large family residence. The property is just a street away from the coast, where you'll find the famous 127-feet white inland lighthouse.

This east Sussex property offers the best quality of living according to the Halifax survey and we think this three-bedroom cottage, which dates back to the 15th century and is sited in the popular Old Town conservation area, will help you take full advantage of that. The front half of Lychgate House is the remains of a medieval hall house, while a dip in the cellar was a salt bin used for preserving meats, and the back half of the house is Tudor. But the property has been sympathetically renovated to include three en suite bathrooms, a fitted kitchen and a wine cellar. On the market for £225,000.
