Greatest Homes: houses under £200K

It doesn’t have to cost the Earth to have your own freehold, own house, own kingdom

It’s generally accepted that for the majority of us our first step on the property ladder is going to be a leasehold property, most likely a small apartment. It doesn’t have to be that way. Travel further out of town and you can find a bijoux cottage, first family home or down-sizing perfection with that all important freehold at a very affordable price.

Augusta Place, Worthing
Close to the seafront, as well as the convenience of the local shops, is this darling one bedroom mews cottage. In the heart of the town, this beautiful home consists of a downstairs cloakroom, an open-plan living and kitchen area, a bathroom, a bedroom and even a study. Outside there’s a small patch of low maintenance space of your own too. Absolutely charming.
