3 bed house with yard...v....2 bed house with garden

[oliveoil]

What would you go for? We are sick of just having a concrete yard and living on the main road BUT our house is lovely and big (for a 3 bed terrace lol) with high ceilings and big rooms etc.

However, to move to a better area with garden, we would have to down size to a smaller house.

I think the garden thing is pissing me off as it is nice and sunny at the mo, doesn't really bother me the other 85% of the time when it isn't.

Will I miss my roomy house? Or will my girls want a garden when they get bigger?

Ahem I live in a house with a 30 x 20 ft paved garden so maybe that is a yard??

Only north of Watford, CD.

Yes I think you have a yard CD. Or maybe I have a paved garden? Not.

It is overcast and windy today so I will see how I feel on the garden front today.

Hello Oliveoil.

See you've joined the name changing clique

Personally I'd choose 3 bedrooms over a garden. I reckon your girls in 5/6 years time will choose their own bedroom over a garden.

We sold our house on Saturday, so are in the process of looking. Have seen some terrible houses. Some people don't even clean

Hello. Yes, changed my name for some thread or other that was saying everyone was perfect or something. No-one noticed, sob.

What sort of house are you after? 3 bed terrace in Oldham going cheap?

After a 3 bed semi with garden, near to good nursery and primary school. Must be near a bus stop cause I still can't bloody drive.

Proving difficult to find.

OliveOil are you there?

We have just had an offer acceppted on a beautiful 3 bed house, but guess what? - it has a yard not a garden! So we ahve done the reverse of what you are considering. We're moving from a 2 bed with garden to a 3 bed with yard.

The extra living space will be great.
