Would you move to a smaller ground floor flat with a garden etc?

[anniewil]

I currently live in a first floor flat and I have been offered a ground floor flat. I used to know the person that lived there so have
already seen inside so know the size/layout etc as I used to visit her and have coffee the odd time!

Living room and bathroom are half the size of mine, the bedroom, kitchen and storage area are bigger. I currently have a large 3
Seater sofa and a chair and I would need a two seater and debatable if a chair would fit as well as all furniture.. I know I would
Have to get rid of some of the furniture I currently have which I don’t really mind.

It’s just had a new kitchen installed.

It has a year old wet room.

It has solid wooden floors in the living room and bedroom.

It has French doors leading out into the back garden.

I need to make the decision by tomorrow morning and feel people are trying to put me off because of the size of the rooms,
I’m not even sure if it would bother me or not (previous to the flat I’m in now I was in a three bed detached house and it’s never
bothered me) also I live alone, no kids etc and that will not change (I’m 50 now)

Would you stay or go if it was you?

I wouldn’t if you don’t like noise above you. Also gf is darker imo but if you’re desperate for outdoor space then it’s an obvious yes. More noise if near communal stairs or front door if shared. Have you decided yet?

You likely won’t be able to depending on the leasehold
i have an apartment with its own garden and can’t hang washing out as it’s a blanket ban on all the apartments (no washing on view, balconies etc)

The flip side to this is you stop doing stairs daily, which can have a real effect on your fitness. Make sure you are doing them elsewhere/other exercise to prolong mobility.
