Been feeling a bit hemmed in and our street has been getting busier & busier car-wise. Victorian houses, semi-detached, nice area and bang next to the dd's schools and shops etc. But I've started feeling all middle-aged and garden-y; want more light and a nice view.
Therefore, as family weren't keen on moving we decided we'd build out - extend kitchen, make garden room and plans have been drawn up.
However, local builder bought house next door, did it up and we found out this week he's sold it to a housing company who have now put their maintenance team in to make it suitable for vulnerable adults and carers. I'm now worried about even more traffic, more cars coming and going with carers' shifts and families visiting. Makes me feel even more hemmed in.
Cancel the building work, stick house on market and look to move to somewhere with a drive & maybe even a view but further out? Or build, see what happens and review in a year?
