This one is about half a mile from me. It has some lovely features although I would change the knobs in the kitchen ("knob overload" says my DD). I know it is next to the local train station but that wouldn't bother me. You are about half an hour from both Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling so really handy. All I need is to sell my house and find about £300,000 to £350,000. Looking between cushions on sofa for space change as I speak Grin.

What is local around you that you fancy?

This one, I pass by on bus. It is deceptively large. The uninterrupted views over the Firth of Forth and Ochils are incredible. I have a view of these too, from my home. After thirty years here I have never got bored of the view. Less than a mile from the train station, too.

Or this which is nice, but amazingly wanky. Loads of different photos of the soft furnishings and the tasteful choices of colour scheme. The estate agents literally tell you the shade and make of paint used on the exterior woodwork, because god forbid you spend two million quid on a house with Dulux on the doors.

OP they are spectacular.

I’ve already planned in my head how I will make the apartment into an AirBnB sideline!!!

I'd live in this one. Decor not my style, rather dull, but beautiful space

I could probably force myself to live here, even if it is a bit 'beamy'….

Not sure I could scrape up the ££££££ though.

Close by and slightly better sea views than ours!

I found this property on the Rightmove Android app and wanted you to see it: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/134393009

Access by quadbike? Erm ...

mnahmnah · 25/08/2024 15:37

I always have a good nosy at the houses along the river while walking the dog. This one would do!

Understated? Grin Somewhat intimidating but glorious, too.

I do love the back garden area of the Brixton one though.

Thats beautiful. Do you live there, I'm jealous.

Feelingstrange2 · 25/08/2024 15:54

Close by, yeah. Not in a million pound house though!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 25/08/2024 15:57

nothing for sale within a mile from me

SingingSands · 25/08/2024 16:12

So I've just had a look and there 128 properties for sale within a mile me and I don't like any of them.

I obviously live in the best house in the area 🤣
