In a bit of a quandary and any advice welcome. I’m 58, husband nearly 65. We have lived in our detached 3 bed house 34 years, brought the children up here. The only problem with the house is the kitchen; it’s a small galley style narrow one and I would love a wide open kitchen with an island. We have a big conservatory off the kitchen and have had some people in to look at knocking the kitchen wall down and making one big kitchen with dining table and sofa, tv etc. We think this will come in at around £50k as having new boiler and a decent kitchen with all appliances, quooker tap, inbuilt everything, new doors etc. Our quandary is is this reasonable or should we move? I am reluctant to do this as we like where we are, garden not overlooked, near town centre and beach, all 5 mins walk away. It’s a 30’s house so rooms bigger than new build apart from kitchen. Having looked at what’s around on sale it’s either no character new build or houses like ours that need everything doing, kitchen, bathroom, decor. We also have 35 years of stuff to sort if move and hubby is a bit of a hoarder in certain hobbies! Just putting feelers out for thoughts? We haven’t moved in 34 years so it’s all scary to me!!!
