House 2:

Both good for schools and work so that’s not an issue. I just love both!! 😭

I know no2 is a lot more but I just want opinions o the houses, layouts, gardens etc??

Dh says no1 (because he is thinking of ££) our max budget was 580 so both are under in a sense

Need clicky links.

Whichouse · 11/07/2019 15:34

How do I do that? I thought I had 😬

LOVE the first one, it has more character. But I guess you have to have the same taste. The other one is more of a blank canvas.

I would pick No 2. Seems pretty spacious to me, nice wide hall, big windows, lovely views/gardens. The outside look of the house is much nicer in my opinion.

you need double square parentheses around each link. Then if you leave a space after your link before the parentheses you can avoid showing the whole like and can name it.

House 2

House 1 linked twice to show the difference for you OP.

Can I pick house 1 in house 2's garden? Grin

House 1 has much more space and looks warm and welcoming. The grounds for house 2 are amazing, the house not quite so nice but the main thing that would put me off is that it is a grade 2 listed building. I speak as someone who waited 2 years for English Heritage to agree the correct colour of mortar for essential structural repairs to be done... But, if you really love it, the inconvenience is a small price to pay. The maintenance bills might not be such a small price though Grin

No 2

mammabella1 · 11/07/2019 15:49

House 1! Both are beautiful but House 1 has so much character. Also agree with PP regarding Grade 2 listed..

Don't forget your budget too - if house 1 is massively under budget just think of how much you could do to make it even more amazing!

Good luck Grin

Whichever is least likely to flood.

IDontGiveABagOfDicks · 11/07/2019 15:52

House 1, by a long shot.

Whichouse · 11/07/2019 15:52

@Hawkmoth 😂😂😂👍

House 2. Love the hallway and the outside space.

House 1 us just too fancy and frilly for me.
Just a matter of taste though.

UrsulaPandress · 11/07/2019 15:56

1 for the house
2 for the grounds

Nothingmuch · 11/07/2019 15:56

I like them both !

Whichouse · 11/07/2019 15:58

😂😂 I’m going to have to form a tally chart

I don't fancy the views out of the rear windows of House 2 (unsurprisingly there's only the stair window I think).

House 1 outlook/immediate area much nicer. I don't think it has been modernized as recently as House 2 but the act that H2 has no back garden is attached to a row of other houses is a shame, especially as it means there is no light to the rear at all.

Look at them both its so hard to judge based on the listings alone.

notatwork · 11/07/2019 16:00

I mean view them both, not just look !

BiscuitDrama · 11/07/2019 16:00

Oh my goodness. Either. Both. Any. They are both fabulous!

notatwork · 11/07/2019 16:05

OK I've just streetviewed the houses behind house 2. It looks like they've have sold off the garden and outbuildings for development. One of the windows facing backwards is a blocked off door.
Definitely House 1 for me.

ThereIsIron · 11/07/2019 16:05

They're both Grade II Listed

RosaWaiting · 11/07/2019 16:07

I’m sure but I think you can fit me in either house. I’m easy to get along with Grin
