Britain's 'most perfect market town' where you can buy a home for less than 100k

       Ledbury, described by one property expert as the "jewel of East Herefordshire", may look every inch a high-end market town, but houses there don't cost a pretty penny.

       Situated between Gloucester, Worcester, and Hereford, this picturesque town of less than 10,000 people boasts gorgeous Gerogian properties dripping with character.

       Nevertheless, several roads in the town have houses that sell for less than £150,000. One road has an average price per home of less than £100,000.

       The town was listed by Muddy Stilletos for its "quiet luxury" and was ranked in the top eight places to live in the UK. The market town was also named one of Britain's "most perfect market towns" by the Telegraph.

       Despite the town being so highly regarded, Ledbury has several streets with very low average prices.

       The Homend is Ledbury’s most affordable street, with an average price paid of just £99,333 across nine property transactions between January 2020 and December 2024.

       Other notable streets include:

       Property expert Tom Grant, Managing Director of Grant & Co, said of the town: "Ledbury continues to be a popular market town, the jewel of East Herefordshire.

       "The town is centred around the Georgian high street, with mainline rail station at one end and a plethora of independent and bespoke shops to attract visitors and locals alike.

       "The town forms the focal point for the surrounding villages and community with a local hospital, large doctors practice, theatre, train station and popular junior and secondary schools. Informal restaurants, traditional pubs, good hotels and fine dining add to the draw."

       He went on: "Housing demand remains healthy but reflects the hesitation we’ve experienced in buyer confidence over the last 10 months, really since the election announcement in June 2024.

       "Generally, we’ve seen a bumpy ride over the last couple of years and there is no doubt that prices have eased back from their post Covid highs. However, we are seeing a lot of frustration in the marketplace through lack of supply and unrealistic pricing. The market remains very price sensitive, and this will continue until we can build more buyer confidence.

       "Having noted the caution above, we do think that 2025 will be a more positive market. Arguably we have political stability for the next few years, energy costs and inflation have abated, and interest rates are on a downward trajectory. All positive signs for buyers, which in turn will encourage more sellers. Bring on the daffodils."
