After house hunting for an eternity in a part of west london where house prices are still shooting through the roof, i would love some help deciding what is the best thing for my family in terms of compromise:
A) go for a Victorian/Edwardian terraced house on a desirable street which is short walk (7-10 minutes) from chiswick high road and Turnham green for shops and amenities etc BUT where we will be compromising on space, have a tiny garden and may outgrow it in 5-10 years.
OR
B) go for a big detached double fronted Edwardian house on a slightly less desirable residential street with mixed styles of 1930s houses which is 15-18 minutes walk from chiswick high road/Turnham green. BUT the house is huge with scope to extend with a 70 ft garden. The house, whilst not my preferred style and is in between 2 nice but quirky 1930s houses, is absolutely wonderful inside with a lovely homely feel and loads of space for our 2 little girls to run around. We would never need to move again.
What should I do??
The price of the houses are very similar and proximity to good schools is the same for both houses too. WWYD?
Thanks! x
