Which house?

[Dizzycow79]

Deciding between two houses -

One is close to town, close to where we live now, might have an issue with good state school for ds but could do private if needed, close to family. House needs a lot of work to make into a dream house including building work. (Part of the property comes with a bit of woodland that needs maintaining I guess)

Two is a nice village 25/30 mins away from where we are now. Beautiful period property, more expensive but not much work to do. Good school system, but 30 mins away from main city/friends/ageing parents.

Plus points/negative points?
Which would you go for?

Depends on the type of village for me. A village with facilities and lots of public transport yes. A village with no amenities but only a cyclical/walkable mile or two from a place with lots of amenities yes. A village with no amenities, no public transport and 10 miles away from amenities no.

House 2. Who wants to own woodland?
