I bought a wee cottage near Dumfries. They originally wanted overs over £135k and we got it for £110k. It is 15 mins from Mabie, 10 mins from Dalbeattie as well as being in striking distance of three other 'Stanes' so it clearly priceless!!

Yoss - know it reasonably well, friend just moved over that way and have done a bit if work in that area (Graystone Rd)

TomB - We're looing at Cumbria (outside the National Park) so very interested in your experience/knowledge of the housing market up there.
Kendal is our most likely destination. I'd like to go for Cockermouth but don't think I can swing it as too remote.

We looked at one as a buy-to-let last year when it was on the market for 165
We offered 130 and was turned down, they then must have hat it repo'd or handed the keys in as we then bought it off the building society for 110 last monthI reckon the market value is around 130 but as ever, you'd need to find a buyer with the funds

Our house was on for 225K in Jan 2010, then went down to 215 in March 2010, we offered 180 and were turned down, then straight away it went down to 200, and we got it for 190K in the end.
In Derbyshire (listed old house in a world heritage site / conservation area close to the middle of a nice town hence it was a bit expensive for round here.)

lake districts great - I'd venture more into greenodd/lowick/ulverston direction though. Not a massive fan of kendals vibe.
