I think I fancy somewhere coastal with a nice sandy beach

i think id go for somewhere in Dorset or Cornwall

or maybe Filey Yorkshire

I’d probably move to the Poole area. Either near Poole park or near studland bay. That’s my favourite area really. We’re day trip distance away from there now but house prices are too high to make moving there achievable. Unfortunately we don’t have a London pad to sell to facilitate the move!

Currently live very near the coast. We'd move to Bannau Brycheiniog if we could.

London. Just for the sheer number of things to do.

The chances of me ever affording it though are the same as me winning Miss World!

I live in Edinburgh now. If I won the lottery I would buy a place in a nice bit of London.

Lewes

or, if I had pots of money, a London crash pad in Hampstead or Highgate and a lovely big house by the sea on the Gower

St Andrews is wonderful. Beaches. Posh shops. Always a buzz.

Im currently living by the sea in west sussex. If I don't stay here I reckon I'll move back to London to retire.

Wowkn · 08/02/2026 20:46

I’d love to live in Edinburgh

SchoolDilemma17 · 08/02/2026 20:47

South Kensington if I had the money

mondaytosunday · 08/02/2026 20:47

Chelsea. I’d love to live in a three bed terrace with small garden on a garden square just off the Kings Rd. Even better if it had an amazing friendly café on the corner. My dream.
