    Hi Hal,
    It depends on how far is 'further out'. Cheltanham is a good suburb and a townhouse there should do well.

    Normally, a town house would be cheaper to run, and attract a higher rent (if closer to the city). A house would have a higher capital growth due to the land content, remember land appreciates, building depreciates… Happy investing
