Budget is 400k, it's 20k below that. Gorgeous area with brilliant primary and secondary. The next LA over has grammar schools which I really like the idea of and despite different LEA they take kids from this village. DH would be commuting into Manchester and we are moving from London. I've been look at this house and have absolutley fallen in love. I love the quirkiness and almost European look on the outside. The inside is a little dated but we will have 20k to sort that out. However DH isn't keen. He describes it as looking "odd" an since we are moving to a village he desires a more "cottagey" home away from a new build estate and adores this:

It's a lot cheaper but also we'd be sacrificng an extra bedroom. We have 2 DD's 1 DS and baby boy on way so it's probably be 2 DC's in each room eventually. And also my choice house looks a lot more spacious. I'd just like to hear an outside perspective on it. We're still early on so haven't looked at many houses but focusing on these 2 for now as which ever we prefer will also set the stage for future ones to look at that are similar. TIA

Ignore me if someone's already linked this one, but it's spoiled me for everywhere else: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-65327611.html

Just look at the space for a family - it's even got a separate family room and study (and of course an en suite so you're not fighting for the family bathroom Wink) The Kings Leadership school looks pretty good too, though I don't know it personally, and the links into Warrington would be excellent

I've only read the first 3 pages but can I just say OP all your posts start "but DH really likes, DH wants, DH thinks.."

Why is it all about his preferences only?

Now I've read all 6 pages and it's kind of sad it's all "DH wants this - he only wants this village, he only wants to be in Cheshire, he only wants character and cottagey etc" it's so sad OP - ITS YOUR HOME TOO.

The carpet in the living room of house 1 in the OP is atrociously fitted.
