A red sandstone tenement with a tiled close, shiny wooden floors and storm doors. Big windows.

I would be happy with a small house, as long as it had no neighbours!

Our actual house, but on a massive plot, like massive, right out on the countryside, rather than on a 'snug' new build estate!

A farm house

In the town I live there are a few streets with enormous Georgian houses, with huge living rooms, a cellar, a back garden etc. It's my dream to live in one.

I really like quirky houses that have no order to them - like the house in Absolutely Fabulous.

Detached bungalow. Small but private garden. Amenities on my doorstep.

4 bedroom with a study detached, big garden.
Within walking distance to my kids school.

If it wasn’t for the kids being near school I’d want a rural property.

A garden. I just want my own personal outdoor space. Infact it could be a yard. Big enough for a clothes line would be fine.

Penthouse with a view, that is mine.

I would love a detached house - not in the middle of nowhere (that would freak me out) but a decent distance from neighbours. It would not have to be huge - 3 or 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a nice spacious living room and kitchen. A period property with high ceilings would be a bonus!

I'm not into big houses. I'd be happy with 2 bedrooms as it's just me and DS but if I had the choice I'd like a 3rd bedroom that I could use as a dressing room/walk in wardrobe. I'd also like a bathroom that's big enough for a 4 piece suite.

Not bothered about land, I don't actually spend much time in the garden.

a house with a garden and a bedroom each.

A new period property, so all the features of an old property with bay windows, high ceilings, ornate features but without the maintenance issues that come with period properties.

A 5 bed with space, not a new build

One of the big Victorian terraces 10mins away. (near train station and good catchment area).
My friend grew up in one and it was beautiful - 4 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, cellar and garden.

Only need about 800,000 Shock

A detached bungalow. I'd like a nice sized garden so that Resident Collie has somewhere to loon round. 3 or 4 bedrooms so that friends can visit would also be nice.

Right now it would be any type of semi detached or detached house with 3 or 4 bedrooms, and a garden with a very tall fence!

Detached, either ultra modern eco house or well built brick or stone - anywhere from Queen Anne, Georgian to 1930s Arts & Crafts, with a wrap around garden and a veggie patch, overlooking woodland, with a short walk to a village with a fast train to London.

In my dreams.

Happy with a small house.
Needs to be isolated in land - some woodland and water essential. A view.
Needs outbuildings (not fully sure why I am obsessed with outbuildings but I am).
Thanks for asking op - can you sort me out ?

No modest dreams here😂.

A timber framed medieval hall house with a moat around it and a walled kitchen garden. And the money to look after it all!

Alternatively, if I was on my own, a three bed Victorian terrace or semi in a nice town with a long thin garden.

A detached house, with rooms a bit wider than where we are now (terrace). With a drive. And a back garden (as opposed to a back yard)

With a downstairs loo and utility room.

A two bed flat in Brixton or Brighton town centre near the beach. Living room and separate kitchen. Plenty of storage.
