I've thought about doing something similar myself, should I ever get a redundancy package from my job. I would love to move near the lakes so I could explore & enjoy every nook & cranny at the weekends (oo-err!). However the house prices (except within the national park) are low for a reason, being that Cumbria is a high unemployment area.
I would spend some time in any place you intend to move before you commit to anything, so you can get a feel for it, find out who your neighbours will be & check the job market, crime levels etc.
Also if you need mortgage advice have a look at the money saving expert website. There are some good in depth guides you can download, and tools for comparing mortgages & calculating costs.
