Ooooh lovely houses that are just a few hundred thousand out of reach, not the completely unrealistic fantasy ones ...

[Mintyy]

I like looking at amazing houses on here and on Rightmove, but most of them are just day-dream material.

I actually get more of a frisson of excitement by looking at the ones that are tantalizingly out of reach but which we might actually realistically move to if we had better jobs/more dosh/an inheritance/a moderate win on the lottery ...

So, mine might be this one, for eg. Big house, lovely area, loads of potential. Can't afford it .

Who else? Post your hearts desire "almost there" houses for us all to admire ...

This one would do me.

Its lovely cece but no splashback behind the kitchen sink ! And so expensive?

Look at the location though.

Oh that beach!!

I think Cece's house is stunning and much better value than the OP's!

For not much more than a semi in Sydenham, what about this? Or this?

I could like this one too.

argument I like that first one and I don't normally like older houses.

I love that cornish one cece

This one would be just fine for me.

Or this, set in the Hampshire Hills?

way out of budget

The first Harrogate one is also gorgeous

less than half the price

pelvic floor - I love the tower in the grounds!

This makes me salivate (though the decor, not so much).

It's worth less than the house we live in now but moving to Lincs might be tricky for the commute!

Lovely house Pilcrow but too many dolls - reminds me of Maelstrom or Drusilla from Buffy. Do the spirits of freaky dolls linger in a property once vacated?
