Controversial opinion, but I actually wouldn't move house if I won the lottery - not even the Euros or Powerball. I love our house, although it does need an extensive amount of work so my winnings would come in handy there. But day to day we don't actually need anywhere bigger, and we love where we are.
But, I would buy other 'holiday' houses. I'm unsure on abroad locations yet, and would spend the first year or two exploring and seeing if I liked anywhere enough to buy anywhere and return regularly.
In the UK I'd like somewhere big enough to host family celebrations and comfortably sleep and entertain 25-30 people. The house is probably more important than the location here.
I'd also like somewhere in Cornwall, near the sea but am unsure on size or exact location.
Depending on the size of the win I'd also buy a central London flat, preferably within walking distance of Covent Garden and with a roof terrace or good sized balcony. 2-3 bedrooms.
What would you pick? Anyone else also choosing to stay in their current house?
Summer seems easy enough, but what are your go to winter destinations in the UK? Even with a lottery win you might not always want to go abroad, sometimes you might want a quiet weekend with the dog and an open fire, windy walks and the local pub.
