5 bedrooms (4 doubles and one single) with two ensuites. One ensuite bedroom for DH and I with enough room for a superking bed and not overlooked so I could undress in front of the window and not scare the neighbours 😁. The other ensuite room would be a guest bedroom then two rooms for DDs and the single bedroom would be my study.
An upstairs laundry room so no need to cart washing baskets up and down stairs.
A proper attic room with it's own staircase access for storage rather than having to faff about with loft ladders.
Downstairs would be a large kitchen diner looking out onto the garden with enough space for an 8 seater dining table and a corner sofa.
A separate, grown up living room free from the kids toys (they could be in the open plan kitchen/living room.) Woodburner.
A downstairs study for DH.
Large entrance hallway with a huge cupboard for coats, shoes and bags.
Downstairs WC.
Medium sized garden, I don't need anything huge but would like enough patio space for a table and chairs near to the house. Enough to keep me occupied but not overwhelming. The most important thing is it wouldn't be overlooked. I'd like enough space for a large garden shed, a greenhouse and a couple of raised beds for vegetables.
Driveway parking for 4 vehicles.
The house would be Victorian but renovated to a modern standard, still keeping traditional features.
I'd like a front door with stained glass above it.
On the edge of a town that had plenty of independent shops, cafe's and restaurants and a train station with easy access to a city. I'd be close enough so it was an easy walk into the town and had some neighbours but just on the edge so I also had easy access to countryside walks. DDs would be able to walk to and from school.
Close to the sea and somewhere with a promenade so I could walk along the seafront without having to walk on the sand.
That's all, thank you! 🤣
