to let MN decide which house we buy?

[mistressploppy]

To cut a long boring story short, we are now stuck deciding between two houses. DH knows which one he wants; I need more opinions...

House A is on the road we currently live on, the Nicest in the Villaaage, all leafy etc
House B is on the second nicest road, nearer the Main Road

House A is a 4 bed semi
House B is detached, 5 bed

House A has a big back garden and a small drive
House B has a very big front garden (because it's a southfacing plot) and a huge drive

House A is pretty and Victorian
House B is a bit less pretty and Edwardian

House A would mean keeping our lovely neighbours
House B may well have lovely new neighbours

House A costs x
House B costs x plus £25k

Any thoughts?

How big is the back garden for house B?

I'm massively leaning towards the 5 bed detached with the big drive - you'll never have to move again

i'd go for House A

[Punkatheart]

I like A but then I have always been a sucker for Victorian houses.

House A ...dont mess with "might" have nice neighbours ...i couldnt care less if i lived in a 50 bedroom house ,if i had shit neighbours id sooner swap it for a 1 bedroom flat with nice neighbours .....Can u tell i have had past issues with neighbours ??

House A is cheaper and may be smaller but it sounds lovely :)

[SomebodyNew]

House A definitely, just sounds much nicer for some reason. Can we see links? Yes I'm nosey!

[squeakytoy]

House A sounds better to me, but peace and quiet, a huge garden, and good neighbours are important to me.

[mistressploppy]

Laurie - it's big enough for a shed, rotary line, some shrubs, patch of lawn. It's just north facing so pretty dark. There's also a garage on the west side of the house, and a veg patch there that gets sun from west and south

[ohhappyday]

house A quality over quantity for me every time. Also by the sounds of things you love it. Best of Luck

[Pedallleur]

Which can you afford and how many in the family? if you have or are planning a large family then obviously bigger is better but not if you struggle to pay the mortgage/bills

[SomebodyNew]

Also, reading between the lines you have described house A more positively so maybe you're leaning that way?

[mistressploppy]

Ok, both houses are on my profile, House A is the first one, and has a floorplan , House B is the last pic

[cottonreels]

If one room would be a spare room in house b, go for house a and have a clear out

[mistressploppy]

I tried to be even handed with how positively I described them! I knew I'd cock that up!

[LadyOfTheCuntryManor]

House B. It's similar to my house here

That's also for sale. Buy mine so I can move.

House B because you have the privacy of the surroundings, you're off the main road, and Georgian houses provide better interiors.

house A.

I think having a large front garden would be impractical.

[LaurieFairyCake]

They are both lovely but that aerial shot of the detached with all the green is fab!

For me it's always detached - doesn't matter so much about the neighbours then

Remember, some arse could still move next door to you in the semi.

btw - I've been to Petra too! wish I was there now

[mistressploppy]

Ooh, Lady, I love your house! If you could transplant it to Hampshire I would definitely buy it

[montmartre]

Pmsl! First pic I see is the treasury at petra... bit older than victorian

Off the pic, id choose the first.

[SoupDragon]

Except, LOTCM, House B is Edwardian and nearer the main road.

[thisisyesterday]

having seen pics I still say house A!!! it looks lovely.

how big is its garden?

[LadyOfTheCuntryManor]

That can be arranged. If you buy it, I'll let you know how you can transport it

[LadyOfTheCuntryManor]

Oh.

Edwardian is ok, but Victorian interior beats that.

It looks like it's further away, with the surroundings. Just a nicer looking house, then again I can't see inside.
