Can you help me decide whether to move please?

[JanieGaga]

Where we are now:
Lovely house
Amazing garden
Space but a bit isolated (live on a busyish lane, can't walk to any amenities)
DS has to be driven to school bus 10 mins away

Where we are looking at:
Building plot - could build amazing house on it
Dreadful garden (could be made better but never amazing) because of nature of the site
Lovely village - can walk to shop, park, pub etc
DS could walk to school bus

So we would love to live in the village but we like our space.
We like the the freedom it would offer DS.
But the plot is not ideal, it's a bit closer to other neighbours and there are some tall, dark trees in a neighbours' garden behind (he's a pain apparently so no chance of getting them chopped) which I don't like.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Dolly! I'm going to run all that past DH. It's really helped having different ideas on how to make the decision

It's been interesting thinking about it! The thing is other people can tell you what they'd do, but you are not them so it's not always useful. Good luck, let us know what you decide!
