We paid just over �200K for our place in Ceredigion - four bedroom traditional slate-built farmhouse with barns, outbuildings and pigsties, plus just over an acre, with the other four and a half acres rented. Prices are rising by the week, though.
We found our place after looking for nearly two years, so it's worth persevering. The place does also need a heck of a lot of work which could seriously bump up the price if you don't fancy doing it yourself (ours has now been rewired, replumbed and is currently being replastered and having new ceilings and floors put in).
My advice is to do a quick recce to find an area you think you could live in (and afford), and then blitz the estate agents in a 30-mile radius. These days so many are online, which helps enormously. Try also the specialist online agencies like ruralscene and the smallholding centre. Be patient, and good luck!
