Anyone like searching for property??

[Lauriefairycake]

I pasted this in Chat but have now realised we have a property section

I am attempting to search outside the box.

1. Looking for anywhere in England (not Wales, Scotland, Ireland - dh can't teach there)

2. Detached

3. semi rural location/ rural location

4. Huge garden needed - third of an acre plus

5. Up to £160,000

6. Must be habitable/mortgageable but can be really ugly and need renovation

I've found 3 so far (all under offer unfortunately) in Cambridgeshire (Fens)

The one above is my fave - love it.

If anyone knows of anything in their area

Is Cambs you're preferred area?

Was just looking at Cambs cos it's cheap - but will look at anywhere.

Dh has craving to move oop north (he's from there)

If you find one let me know and we'll join you!

Seriously, we thought of finding such a house a couple of years ago, but have since decided to stay put until the children have left school. It's now our retirement plan.

Our research then showed us bits of Cornwall and like you say Cambridgeshire seemed good value. The other was Wales, especially lovely mid-Wales - can your husband really not teach there, in an English-medium school obviously?
