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?

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

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

Lovely house. Poor sad looking dog in photo 11.

@YesThisIsMe - beat me to it on both of them - wouldn't want to live on Brixton road though as it would be very noisy. Think I'd go for this one although it would need a bit of money spending sorting out the layout (which would no doubt take months to sort out with the council planners...) www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/148620428#/?channel=RES_BUY

That first one is pretty close to me but this is within a mile.
I don't think I’ll find enough change in between the sofa cushions for it though.
It looks like a film set 😍www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/151581185

The one in Polperro is beautiful.
Shame the lottery didn’t come up last night.

Surprisingly few nice houses in the vicinity at the moment, but I quite liked the look of this apartment! Bit out of budget for me, so I'll stick with my semi.

I love this house. It has no parking nor garden to speak of, which would in reality be deal breakers for me, but it’s just utterly gorgeous.

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

Omg I love this one

Oooh, that is lovely. No garden wouldn't bother me and it does say a garage/parking are available separately!

Would you keep that red in the dining room?

Portfun24 · 25/08/2024 17:05

I want this one, less than half a mile from me but bit out my price range. Would get rid of all the gray https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/148100129#/media?id=media31&ref=photoCollage&channel=RESBUY

That’s interesting! I wonder which garage/parking they’re referring to, because it literally doesn’t have any. I know this street very well.

I once viewed a house where the garage (a separate rental) was along the street and round the corner. The walk would have been a nuisance but what sealed the 'no deal' was that as a rental you'd be over a barrel. The house fronted a busy A road so no possibility of on-road parking at all.

I love this if it wasn't Darras hall, too many footballers

There in excess of 30 properties approximately a mile from me. All in excess of a million. Way out of my league but I do like this one.

6 bedroom detached house for sale in Little Court, Goring on Thames, RG8 (rightmove.co.uk)

This is gorgeous but 1) sold 2) too big really and 3) well out of my price range.
Everything else for sale within a mile is very dull.
We actually viewed this house some years ago, before it was extended and renovated. But even then it was at the top of our price range and clearly needed a lot spent on it, so not affordable really. I'm glad to see they haven't stripped all the character out of it and the extension is nicely in keeping.
