Shawford
SHAWFORD is bisected by the M3, so one of the major factors governing prices here is whether properties have been affected by it or not – hundreds of home-owners filed for compensation. You would pay £260,000 for a two-bedroom Victorian or Edwardian terraced house away from the main road – 10 per cent less if it is in the traffic zone. Towards Compton there are some huge individual houses, built on large plots, that sell for £1m to £2m, though some of these are affected by the motorway.
