Let's move to: Keighley and Haworth, West Yorkshire

What's going for it? Eric Pickles is from Keighley, but don't let that put you off. So was Mollie Sugden, and in my book that about balances it out. In any case, Keighley is not a place that needs any of Pickles's lessons in Nu Localism, thank you very much. The town already has blues clubs, Buddhist meditation get-togethers, choirs, real ale societies, cricket clubs, a fine picturehouse, rugby league clubs and a railway, the Worth Valley, that the locals bought when another government busybody, Dr Beeching, started interfering. Keighley is home to the first Carnegie library in the country, so you don't need to tell it anything about philanthropy and volunteering. It's a spirited town – knocked about a tad in the 60s, but who wasn't? The Brontë family of Haworth just about sums up the area: hard and hardy as millstone, tender and compassionate as a lamb.

The case against… The Airedale Centre: how, when, why? Haworth's regular inundation with Brontë and (Kate) Bush fans: thousands seeking eeee-by-gum folksiness that the village, sadly, more than delivers.

Well connected? The A650 dual carriageway trudges through, cursed, like so many "valley bottom" roads, with inevitable bottlenecking. Rail: 23 minutes to Bradford Forster Square, half-hourly; 12-20 minutes to Skipton, three or four an hour.

Schools Primaries: Haworth "good" with "outstanding" features, and Oakworth plain "outstanding". Secondaries: Holy Family Catholic is "satisfactory", Oakbank needs "significant improvement", so hopes ride on the new University Academy.

Hang out at… Keighley is home to brewer, Timothy Taylor. Say no more. Great pubs, like The Royal Oak on Damside, or The Boltmakers on East Parade. Add a pint of Landlord: bliss.

Where to buy Villages outside town, like Haworth, are highly prized: High Utley, with its Victorian mill-owner's villas, is poshest, though Cross Roads, Riddlesden, Cullingworth, East Morton and Braithwaite village are all in demand, with old stone cottages and terraces, and the valley tops with great countryside views head the list. But mooch about Keighley town, too: there's great period property in pockets off Skipton Road, and decent mill conversions.

Market values Large detacheds, £300,000-£600,000. Detacheds and good-sized townhouses, £180,000-£300,000. Semis, £70,000-£280,000. Terraces, £55,000-£180,000.

Bargain of the week Very pretty three-bed, grade II-listed stone semi-detached, £169,950, with Dacre, Son & Hartley.

From the streets

Stanley Turner "The people are very friendly – I meet a lot of them on my milk round. And it's good countryside."

Janine Hallam "Keighley has a lot of civic pride and a beautiful Victorian main street. Great independent shops: my favourite is Small Office Supplies, a lovely stationer. The Pennine Way is a few miles away."

Beth Cunningham "I moved here nine years ago, after 18 years in London, because I'm bonkers about the Brontës. But it's not just a tourist place, it's a proper working village."
