People who have moved to the country from London

[CountessDracula]

What exactly is so much cheaper about living in the country to justify the massive salary cut you have to take when you move?

Food, clothes, schools etc the same price surely. Plus masses of petrol so that is more. If you are moving to an area where the house prices are not dissimilar to London, I can't see where you make the saving.

link no worketh

where is it?

really? it works for me

it is West Dean

west dean near alderbury?

ds1 went ot a beaver camp there its very rural but not inaccessibel

muma dn dad used jolly when mr jolly owned it years ago

5 acres of paddocks an utter pain to maintain unless you have some livestock or rent them out which will bring its own probs

Are there really only 3 of you? at 7 bedrooms needed

she has a large arse that requires seperate housing enid.

Is only for rental, anticipate lots of friends for weekends etc...

Don't have to use all the bedrooms

Can't we just ignore the paddock?

(Enid, Cod couldn't move there as her GOB is so huge it wouldn't even fit in the paddock)

OK well find me someting else

min 4 beds pref 5

I doubt youd be able to ignore them prob the maintenance is on the lease. They will grow like wildfire over the spring too.

you need to come down and drive around for a weekend and narrow it down a bit.

ffs I thought the whole point of moving to the cuntry was all this space and paddocks etc

We have a dog the size of a small horse too

lol
