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 would go for this beauty. Although the front gets very shaded as there is a plot of land opposite with huge trees that has been subject to a planning battle for years. Still gorgeous though.

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 ?..

A Jewish family presumably.

I’d be very happy with this one. Above budget for us unfortunately, even though it seems very cheap compared to most shared!

Slightly more than a mile from me.I love the gardens and the closeness to the sea.

You live quite near me OP.

I’d pick this one

This is just outside our village... Very pretty

If we're being strict about the mile radius, this is by far the nicest house. Most of them for sale around me are back-to-backs or scrubby student houses.

Used to pass near there on the bus into Leeds. Is it near the one featured in the house in time series ?

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 -

I think these are my kind of people, loving the chaotic bookshelf filled with board games. We have this!!!

@ItWasnaMeGuv I know- I've got bookshelves that look like that!! Organised chaos. They have my taste too in the main- so would be an easy move ! Well if I had the cash- with a massive paddock too it's a lovely house for someone in a genuinely lovely village

SummerSplashing · 26/08/2024 21:11

FMD I NEED to move.

500,000 here gets you a slightly nicer 'normal' house, nothing like these!

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

Agree absolutely stunning!

This is within a mile from me. Really lovely position with great views over the city

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/150990605#/?channel=RES_BUY

Oh I love this one

SoManyTshirts · 26/08/2024 21:29

Within a mile of me, the railway station and the city centre, with loads of green space, indoor swimming pool and you can see the sea.

If I was in the market for a big house that’d be the one.

This is just over a mile from me, there are more expensive house that don’t need renovating that are stunning but I’ve loved this house for years since I was little and I can’t explain why 😍

That feels a really happy house! Love the colours they chose.

GoatyMcGoatface · 25/08/2024 16:44

I would love this as long as I could sell the 5 acres of grazing land which would just be a load of hassle as far as I'm concerned. A postage stamp garden is all I want.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/151688132#/?channel=RES_BUY

Those windows! This is exactly how I imagined 'Wuthering Heights' would look, young Cathy's ghostly hands tapping at the window...

VenusClapTrap · 25/08/2024 16:55

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.

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/147498956#/?channel=RES_BUY

Lovely - the blue kitchen looks incongruous though.

No, it's not that one but it's nearby

ooh that is a very cute house. I love the vibe. I recognise the parasol (I have the same!) and the tiles in the garden are a great idea - think will copy! Thanks for posting - this thread has become like my pintrest board!
