We live in a lovely but quirky 4 bed barn conversion with a big garden, stables and land at the moment.
We have a very big mortgage, we don't really like the village (think very small, old community, no shop, school, pub or park). Maintenance of the land etc. Is bloody hard work, always jobs to do.
Also we have 2 young children and are thinking about private school which will be unattainable at the moment.
Would we regret moving to a new build? It just feels like it would be very easy. And we could afford a lovely big, family home and have some left over.
Or would it be better to 'down size' to an older property?
I always thought I wanted a country cottage but not so sure now I have kids!! I just want 'easy'.
