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 is a bit more than a mile from where I'm sitting now (visiting, not where I live). https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/151237064#/?channel=RES_BUY It looks lovely but it's a long way from all shops and other amenities. The weather in the photos is deceptive (it's rained all day today in Biblical amounts) and there is of course the Ferry Issue. However, I'd never tire of that view.

This is a mile from me and definitely not indicative of the other houses around me lol

This is a mile from me too. Isn't it lush?! Smile Was on the market for £250 million a few years ago.

Just realised you can actually see my house on the blacked out bit of the agents aerial view ! ( on the housing estate not one of the posh ones ) The house for sale is lovely, and a hell of a lot cheaper than some of the others on here, the difference in prices across the U.K. is mind blowing. Just needs a good fettle and updates.

That is dreamy 🥰

One of these is literally around the corner- sensible family house- to be honest not dissimilar the one we rent - so for me would be ideal - but sadly couldn't get the mortgage!'

the other is a vision in modern minimalism in a beautiful area maybe around a mile and a half away - as I have a very maximalist H I can only look in astonishment at such places

Nothing where I live that is as nice as my home or a better location as I live by the sea but I wouldn't mind buying this flat up to downsize to in the future.

If anyone has plenty of money though ( well 1.1 million) and is looking for a splendidly big house Bath villages- I'm covering this in Norton st Phillip- - Norton has 2 fab pubs, big co op and just a lovely village on a very good bus route- 13 minutes drive to Bath -

Missed the bit about being one mile of where I live! The Blackpill one is further away than that!

I'll try again!

SaintHonoria · 25/08/2024 21:46

This one is within a mile of where I live.

Picture 8 has a light fitting that looks like a shrunken head voodoo type thing!

Quite fancy this one but never worked out why there are two kitchens next to each other…it keeps getting reduced. If I wait long enough one day ?..

Hmm, looked and there's nothing I'd go for within a mile if either mine or dp's - probably because I have my boring practical head on as I've been looking for our next move by which time dp will be a wheelchair user and there are depressingly few properties that meet that need, and that's extending fhe search to the full 40 miles!!!
