An old family friend of mine has their London house up for sale and is planning to move to the sticks. As a child I lived in remote but beautiful part of the country in a grade 2 listed farm house that was from an outsiders point if view pretty idyllic. Anyway said friend has been dropping big hints about contacting the current house owner to make an offer and with the equity they have in their London place the offer could be extremely tempting.

I know nothing has been agreed but aibu to not want my childhood memories to become distorted by this friend living there? I can just imagine seeing photos on Facebook of their family enjoying 'my house' and it makes me feel slightly sick!

I'm obviously the only one who thinks it's rather nice.

My dp still live in their house, but I'd be delighted if someone bought my dgp house that they moved from when I was 8. They designed it themselves and I have lots of memories and I'd love to go back and see it. I haven't even gone near it since they moved.
