I feel a bit embarrassed to say, because I really do love the house and it will make a perfect home for us (we have 6 children, 5 still living at home). There really is another house we would have offered on, but it wasn't nearly as big or flexible as this one.
We plan to knock the kitchen through to the dining room and make it one big kitchen/diner/family room. The front room downstairs will become the children's play room/games room/etc. and the second front room on the first floor will be our official lounge. I also want the wall between the kitchen door and the dining room door knocked down so there are no doors, just a really big gap and make that room the focus of our family life.
We are going to dig up the shrubs at the front and put down large shingle, and the garden will be initially decked with a shingly area for the dog and no grass, just pot plants and maybe a small flowerbed where we can throw our seeds of wild flowers. We aren't gardeners, obviously! In the long term we will probably get a full length conservatory put up but won't be able to afford that for a few years.
Any way, here is the link to the house www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-17197755.html?premiumA=true and we offered £223,500. my husband and I initially agreed to go in even lower (he wanted £220,000) but I felt bad even making an offer like that.
I still feel that what will be, will be. There is a bit of a chain this end, of I think four/five people so it could all go wrong. If it does, I still adore the house I live in and we will stay here.
