After many years of London living we're selling up to escape the anxieties of urban living. We're in our forties both of us have fairly small self-employed incomes. We're hoping this will be a 'forever' move and are looking to change our lifestyles for something less stressful ie less chavs hanging about, less road rage and hopefully less general aggression overall. We're selling our flat in London and will have about £180-200 (absolute max) to put into a house hopefully by the sea - and mortgage free. We value privacy (a lot) have thought about isolated cottages down by Dungeness or Lydd but we're also worried that those places might be too reclusive and have also considered big old Victorian terraces in Ramsgate or Margate. We've also thought about little 'retirement' bungalows in Whitstable/Herne Bay/tankerton but they might be a step too far on the slippery slope to pipe and slippers land. We don't have any children and fancy getting a dog and just living a self-contained happy existence with the odd trip back to London. The only one of these places we know well is Whitstable but really it's too expensive for us as we need probably 3 beds (2 offices/studio) and the only places we can afford are 2 bed terraces or tiny bungalows. We don't know any of the other areas at all and would love your thoughts on them or the 'project' itself, especially if you've done anything like this yourself.
