Both in similar areas
House A - in perfect condition. On a main road but slightly set back. Only 7 years old and beautiful. More than big enough for us. On the edge of good catchment for three good schools. Lovely garden. However, it's about a 20 minute walk from the station and high street (I reckon I will only be communing 1-2 days a week in future but my husband commutes). However, there is a bus literally outside that takes you to the station but it's a bit round the houses. Husband could cycle though. And about a 30 minute walk from my dad and sis who i am close to.
House B - on at 150-200k cheaper but needs to be refurbished etc. Also probably larger than we really need. Could just manage with repaint and re carpet but I'd prob redo kitchen and bathrooms etc to be happy and maybe consider a loft extension. Garden is small. Only in catchment for one good school and a couple of very poor ones. Also on a main road. However, it's a 5 minute walk to station and station and about a 15 minute walk to my dad and sister.
We are currently just married and living in a flat belonging to my in laws so could still live here whilst work was done. We are looking to have kids within the next couple of years.
Or do we just sit and wait and hope for something else?
