Residents of a Northumberland town have described it as one of the most underrated places in the country after it was named one of the cheapest seaside locations to buy a home.
Newbiggin-by-the-Sea was named the cheapest seaside location in England to buy a home with an average house price of £117,763. That said, a house on the seafront is likely to set you back closer to £300,000 or more, with many of the cheaper homes located further inland.
Despite that, it's still just a short walk into Newbiggin's town centre which is packed with independent shops, backing onto the only south-facing bay in all of Northumberland. Many of those who grow up there see no reason to leave, while those who arrive fall in love pretty quickly.
