Considering a move and dont know what to do. Its been done to death but what to do, im not sure...
Want to keep this general just in case i "out" myself.
We have two suitable property options, a main room (living areas, bedrooms) adjoining 1920s semi detached with about 900sq ft of useable living area (not including bathrooms or hallways) or a detached house with 700 sq ft of useable living space.
The detached is totally open plan kitchen and the semi has separate kitchen, dining and living rooms.
We have two children. Gardens for both are comparable.
Both cost roughly the same but detached house will mean i will have to drive to supermarket etc as poor public transport links.
Love both.
Semi is SW rear garden. Detached is west facing garden.
Unsure about another semi as i dont like hearing neighbours' tv running late at nights in bedrooms adjoining etc and dont like hearing extractor fans of shower rooms running etc. I can live with it though but i grumble about it. I know its part and parcel of semi detached living.Also our children are under 5 and are noisy.
Like the detached house a lot but open plan is annoying but detached would be amazing.
Both plots are fairly unsuitable for further development as both small plots in tightly packed streets.
The semi is bigger and if you add the wide front door hallway, it feels so spacious.
Can anyone tell me cons of semi detached living and what you hear day to day and if small detached are better?
Really vague i know but cant add anything else!

If you live in a semi detached, main rooms adjoining, what noise do you here from neighbours?
