After quite a few moves we are looking for a longer term house. Kids are teens and we have a fairly limited search area due to schools, being near town etc.
We are moving out of a Victorian town house with beautiful features and high ceilings etc. To find that character but detached with a garden in the right area is proving very hard.
We've seen a modern (probably 80s) house that is very ugly from the front BUT great inside and lovely garden. I don't know if I will love the practicality (big kitchen separate study, lots of bedrooms) or hanker after something older.
Has anyone done this? Will wood floors / funky wallpaper and nice lighting etc make up for lack of character?
