to let MN decide which house we buy?

[mistressploppy]

To cut a long boring story short, we are now stuck deciding between two houses. DH knows which one he wants; I need more opinions...

House A is on the road we currently live on, the Nicest in the Villaaage, all leafy etc
House B is on the second nicest road, nearer the Main Road

House A is a 4 bed semi
House B is detached, 5 bed

House A has a big back garden and a small drive
House B has a very big front garden (because it's a southfacing plot) and a huge drive

House A is pretty and Victorian
House B is a bit less pretty and Edwardian

House A would mean keeping our lovely neighbours
House B may well have lovely new neighbours

House A costs x
House B costs x plus £25k

Any thoughts?

They are both very nice. Is the front garden on B an enclosed front garden then? It looks like it is.

Both look nice but house A does seem to have extra reception rooms that could be used as potential bedrooms if needed? Would go with gut feel. If house a wasn't on the market would you be happy with house b and vice versa?

Lord almighty lady, that's some house!!

second

Ladyof the cuntrymanor....WOW!

Crap, I thought of something else, sorry to drip feed;

Occupants of House B want to downsize and do a swap with us, meaning we'd save £££s of estate agent fees etc

Buy the fucking thing. Please.

House A, or whichever one has the basement. They are the handiest things ever.

Oh House B defo.

That's my choice and I'm sticking to it.

Mathan, for what? Kidnapping people?

Oh yes, and more importantly what's the story about still being in your work dress for giving birth? Sounds dramatic :)

Though the houseswap sounds very tempting...

ooo i like b and you are just up the road from me

basements are fab

you could make one bit of it into a nice soundproof playroom

B - definitely.

"...you could make one bit of it into a nice soundproof playroom..."

For putting your kidnapped victims.

House B its i feel you pain they are both lovely but as someone who bought a 4 bed last year with no intention to have a bigger family and now pregnant again and considering moving again for more space i'd go for the 5 bed Although house A will look magnificent with a Christmas tree

Bollocks, forgot to say House A has basement, done up as study but only just high enough ceiling for DH to stand up

Both have the same number of reception rooms

House B has utility and walk-in larder. Also back stairs (originally for access to servant's room ) now self contained bit for lodger (he has bedroom 4, uses bedroom 5 as kitchen and has own bathroom)

what does dh want?

Bet it's the second and you want to stay put?

If the only thing between the two was money then I would say go for b because of the swap deal. But, if it actually comes down to which you're more emotionally into then I would guess a? Which does your husband like?

When you say walk in larder, do you mean a larder or a pantry?

Sharbie - really??????!

Lady - What's the difference?

Does the lodger come with the house?
