Holbeck Moor is one of the most affordable places on the Sunday Times list, with an average property price of £76,000.

"The biggest draw is the rows of affordable terrace houses from £85,000. Then there's the slightly ironic Holbeck Working Men's Club, which lays claim to the crown of the oldest surviving social club in Britain.

"It's a 20 minute walk to the station and a few minutes more to the city centre, by bike it is 10 minutes and the bus takes 15 minutes.

"Superfast broadband availability is lower than you'd expect at 95%, but four out of five homes can get cable broadband. Slower areas are closer to the canal and river."
