Hi, know there has been a similar thread about this recently but i wondered if anyone could help me - im really at the end of my tether.
We moved to a huge (to us) 2050 sq ft "executive" style home with a wide but shallow south east facing garden garden just over a year ago.
the house is amazing: large rooms, bright, some rooms need a lot of decoration as decor is 16 years old but on the whole, it is fine.
The neighbours garden on the south side that we rely on sun for has started letting their trees grow right up and if they aren't cut back or styled, then we will have a much shadier garden.
A 1960s bungalow with extended bit has come up on a lovely road with a huge 100ft long, nicely wide but north west facing garden, is 1500 sq ft and has the most ridiculous huge driveway.
Its not dull inside but certainly darker than im used to now. on the sunny south east side at the front, there are two small bedrooms and a smaller reception room.
DH is in love, i was in love and we have our our house on the market to buy it. Lovely owners have accepted our offer and are giving us 2 months to sell here as their new place is still being built and they are not really in a huge hurry.
Im now having a massive panic and can't sleep, can't focus and am irritable. I feel literally panic stricken (i know there are lots of real problems in the world).
The rooms are 2/3rds of the size of rooms we have now and do feel on the skimpy side.
Im worried i will miss the home i'm in as it feels huge and spacious but i wont miss the garden.
i'm panicking about staying in case the neighbours trees growing up shading our garden.
I really cant answer the question of which is more important: house or garden. I love a big house but i also am craving a big unrestricted sunny garden.
Is anyone about the talk about this?
The financial side is all covered - losing a lot but can afford to move.
Help! DH is getting angry as he says if we are going to be dickheads and withdraw, its best not to let it drag on to a second week.
