Gillian Dixon, CEO of Teachers To Your Home, said: "It's important to note that higher house prices don't always mean you're moving into areas with the best schools. For instance, Hertsmere has the 22nd highest average price for detached homes, at £1,063,355, yet only 8.2% of its schools are rated 'outstanding’.

"The top ten areas are spread evenly across the north and south, so wherever you are in the country, there may be a location near you with better educational opportunities."

With that in mind, this three-bed semi-detached home is on the market for just £150,000 with Tiger Sales & Lettings. We’re featuring it as part of our Love Your campaign celebrating the best things about Lancashire and its cities, towns, and villages.

Located in the popular residential area of Fulwood, this family property is located near Royal Preston Hospital and, while it is in need of internal renovation and a little TLC where the garden is concerned, the home is not only on the market chain-free, but boasts buckets of potential for it to be transformed into a gem of a property.
