Mine is a cottage in the mountains, with a wood burning stove. I grew up rurally so know all about the noises of the countryside, and the dificulties of lighting a fire and making sprigs with tightly rolled newspaper tied in a knot.
Partner loves the city though, and as neither of us drive it seems unrealistic. Recently one came on the market, just outside our city, and within fifteen minutes walk of a bus route, but it's too expensive and too small, but it also is achingly lovely.
