We've been house hunting for absolutely ages.
I don't know whether we are just very fussy, but nothing ticks all the boxes. We want enough space decent sized bedrooms, big garden, nice road, good schools. Yet we are on a budget!
We've viewed a house and I've fallen in love with it, but it's missing a few things.
I love the road it's on, it has gorgeous views from big windows, it's light and airy, I'm happy with the local schools. The owner is an elderly lady and she's lived there since it was new. I can imagine myself living there, imagine myself waking up looking out of the big bay window. I can imagine what we'd do decorating wise no how it would look. It just gives me good vibes, it feels like a happy house.
However, it's missing a few important things. The garden is absolutely tiny, and we have two dc. It really is tiny, you couldn't ever put a decent shed or a swing and slide. You could just about fit a small table and chairs and a tiny paddling pool in Summer. There's not even any side access to the garden and the only access to it from the house is through the garage! This could potentially be fixed by tuning half of the garage into a utility. The third bedroom is also very small.
It's a corner plot and the neighbours all have huge gardens so I'd have massive garden envy.
My kids love being outside and although there are parks nearby. They spend hours in the garden on nice days.
Not many come up on that street. We don't know what to do.
