Best places in Britain to buy a cottage revealed
With their quirkiness and charm, living in a cottage is a dream for many people, and analysis by a property website has pinpointed locations in Britain where home buyers are most likely to snap one up at a bargain price. North Lanarkshire in Scotland topped Zoopla's affordability list, with a cottage typically priced at £83,500. This is followed by Sunderland in the North East of England where those looking for a cottage could expect to pay an average of £115,000. The 'cottagecore' aesthetic that romanticises rural life and encourages simple living and traditional skills has become a popular trend in recent years. Some cottage buyers may also have inspiration from the cosy, rural home depicted in romantic comedy film The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Zoopla said that 'cottage' was the fourth most-searched for term on its website in 2024. Among those aiming for a lifestyle brimming with bucolic bliss, the analysis reveals where this is translating into market demand for cottages. In the North West of England, Blackburn with Darwen is a hotspot for buyer inquiries, with an average asking price for a cottage at £157,500, Zoopla said. It added that Southampton leads the way in the South East, with a median average asking price of £280,000. Other areas attracting significant attention include East Renfrewshire in Scotland, where a cottage has an average asking price of £100,000, Zoopla said. Neath Port Talbot in Wales appeals to buyers drawn to its beautiful coastal and valley landscapes, with an average price tag of £170,000, the website added. Bradford in West Yorkshire is another hotspot, with an average asking price of £200,000. Buyers are attracted by its rich industrial history, cultural scene and some of the most affordable prices in the region, according to Zoopla. For those looking for choice, Derbyshire Dales has the biggest proportion of cottages for sale, with around a fifth (21.4%) of homes on the market being cottages, the website's analysis found. Daniel Copley, a consumer expert at Zoopla, said: 'Our data shows a clear and sustained appetite for the cottagecore lifestyle, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. 'While the dream of a quaint, rural cottage is often associated with high prices, our analysis highlights that affordability can still be found across the country. From the rolling hills of North Lanarkshire to the coastal charm of Sunderland, there are options for prospective buyers on a range of budgets. 'We're seeing this desire for a simpler life translate into market demand, with specific areas becoming hotspots for buyer interest. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking for a change of pace, the cottage market offers diverse opportunities.' Nigel Bishop, founder of buying agency Recoco Property Search, said: 'There has always been a fan base of buyers who appreciate the typically charming designs and quaint surroundings associated with a cottage. 'Many house hunters also express favouring this style of home for size as cottages tend to be smaller than typical country homes and are therefore considered to be more manageable and could reduce running costs. 'Often set in rural locations, buyers need to ensure that the setting works for them long term, as some amenities such as shops and hospitals can be further away which can become inconvenient. 'Demand for cottages remains strong, however, and house hunters should brace for a competitive property search – particularly for cottages with a lower asking price as they tend to attract multiple offers.' Zoopla analysed homes available for sale between January and May 2025, with London generally excluded. Here are the areas in regions and nations of Britain where cottages are typically the least expensive, according to Zoopla. The figures show the median average asking price for a cottage: East Midlands, Amber Valley, £206,000 East of England, Fenland, £249,000 North East, Sunderland, £115,000 North West, Blackburn with Darwen, £157,500 Scotland, North Lanarkshire, £83,500 South East, Southampton, £280,000 South West, Plymouth, £248,500 Wales, Rhondda Cynon Taf, £129,500 West Midlands, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, £238,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, Bradford, £200,000 Here are the areas in regions and nations of Britain where cottages are typically the most expensive, according to Zoopla. The figures show the median average asking price for a cottage: East Midlands, South Northamptonshire and Gedling, £400,000 East of England, Welwyn Hatfield, £662,500 North East, Northumberland, £300,000 North West, Cheshire West and Chester, £375,000 Scotland, East Lothian, £381,000 South East, Slough, £824,500 South West, Gloucester, £531,500 Wales, Monmouthshire, £442,500 West Midlands, North Warwickshire, £615,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, York, £400,000 Here are the areas in each region or nation where cottages are attracting the biggest concentrations of buyer inquiries, according to Zoopla, with the median average asking price of a cottage: Scotland, East Renfrewshire, £100,000 Wales, Neath Port Talbot, £170,000 Yorkshire and the Humber, Bradford, £200,000 South East, Southampton, £280,000 North East, Sunderland, £115,000 West Midlands, Stoke-on-Trent, £238,000 South West, Plymouth, £248,500 East of England, Hertsmere, £485,000 East Midlands, Leicester, £325,000 North West, Blackburn with Darwen, £157,500

Charles marks nuclear industry anniversaries in Caithness visit
The King has marked a series of anniversaries linked to the nuclear industry on a visit to Caithness in the north of Scotland. Charles was in Scrabster, which is only a short distance from the UK mainland's most northerly point at John O Groats, to meet with key figures working in the nuclear sector. The King has a long-standing affection with the Caithness area and is a regular summer visitor to the nearby Castle of Mey. The visit to Scrabster harbour was hosted by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) to mark the 70th anniversary of the Dounreay nuclear site. Established in 1955, Dounreay was a leading research centre for scientists and engineers experimenting with plutonium, uranium and other metals to generate electricity using advanced types of nuclear reactor. That research work ended in the 1990s and the site is now Scotland's largest nuclear clean-up, waste management and demolition project, with the aim of leaving the land housing the redundant research facilities safe for future generations. The royal event on Monday also marked 50 years since the formation of the Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL) company, which has been involved in the transportation of nuclear materials between Europe and Japan for five decades. A lone piper played as Charles arrived at the pier side on Monday morning. Wearing a kilt, the King met crew members of the Pacific Heron, a second-generation purpose-built nuclear transport vessel. He also unveiled a plaque on the Jubilee Pier to commemorate the PNTL's 50th year of operations. The third anniversary being recognised at the event was 20 years since the establishment of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), a non-departmental public body of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. In April 2005, the NDA took over the ownership of the Dounreay nuclear facility from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). Jonathan Power-Higgins, the director of nuclear and assurance for the NDA's Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS), said it was significant day for the nuclear industry across the UK. 'It is mammoth to have His Royal Highness coming here and that's a testament to the industry's importance,' he said. Joanne Lane, the commercial director at NTS, said it was an emotional experience meeting the King. 'It's a tremendous honour – a personal honour and honour for the business,' she said. 'Pacific Nuclear Transport is 50 years old. So we've been transporting radioactive material safely around the globe for over 50 years – over five million miles without a single incident involving radioactivity. The King was very interested in what we do. 'He was very interested in innovation and how we use our technical expertise to do things better, more efficiently, safer.' After unveiling the plaque on Jubilee Pier, the King attended a reception in the nearby Fish Market Hall, where he met more people involved in the area's nuclear industry and also local community members. One of those he chatted to was Angus Lapslie, an engineer at the Dounreay site who has strong family links to the Royals. The Army reserve officer's late grandfather was Reverend Keith Angus, who was the domestic chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II at the Crathie Kirk church in Aberdeenshire. Mr Lapslie carried the King's colours of his battalion at the coronation ceremony in 2023 and his battalion was also involved in supporting the police during Queen Elizabeth's funeral the previous year. He said the King's visit was special for those working in the nuclear industry in the north of Scotland. 'It's hugely significant to see the recognition of the length of time that Dounreay has been around for and the amount of work that we've done in that 70 years and that we will continue to do in the future,' he said. 'Particularly given His Majesty's close connections to Caithness, it's a really special occasion that he was able to come and recognise it.' At the end of the reception, Charles unveiled another plaque – this one commemorating the 70 years of the Dounreay site. 'Happy 70th birthday everybody,' the King said after the ceremonial unveiling. 'A great pleasure to see you all.' During his visit, Charles also met local sea cadets and Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers from the area. He took the opportunity to present a long service medal to the daughter of William 'Wing' Munro, who volunteered with the RNLI in Scrabster for 55 years. Dee Munro accepted the award on behalf of her father, who was unable to attend the event due to ill health. She said it was something the family would 'always remember'. 'It's been a lovely send off for my dad's years of service and just a mark of respect and an honour to meet the King as well,' she said.

The apartment she bought is perfect. The owner just has to die first
There is a morbid loophole that could get you a Paris apartment for half the price. The French viager system is a real estate deal where buyers essentially bet on how long the seller has left to live.
