Which house should we go for?

House A
Semi detached
3 beds all doubles
1 bathroom
But only 1 open plan room for kitchen / lounge diner. It’s 19 x 17.5 with bi-FOLS doors to garden
HUGE garden and tiny garage (perfect for bikes, mower, extra freezer etc).
£365k (has been on market since October, recently dropped to this. Not sure of original price?)
Driveway for 1 car
Kitchen and bathroom are brand new
Not in a chain as being sold by a developer. We are selling our property to a 1st time buyer who lives 3 doors down -they’re in rented at the moment

House B
Mid terrace
£300k
4 bedrooms over 2 floors (3 double and 1 single). Top floor is a loft conversion of 1 bedroom and bathroom. Agent sketchy about if it passes regs
2 bathrooms but none on bedroom floor 🤨 (so a double bedroom would be dropped to a single, if we wanted to install a cloakroom)
Smallish garden
No parking
Needs a re-wire and new roof. Instinct tells me the survey will throw up other stuff. Maybe structural -subsidence is rife here

Kitchen and bathrooms are tired
Glacial progress of seller -waited 10 days for a viewing
In a chain

I’m not putting the links on out of respect for the sellers. I have strong views but don’t want to influence (but my commentary gives it away lm sure!).

@mummabubs it’s for me, fiancé and 3 cats. Children appear unlikely -we have tried for years, we are doing a last round of IVF where as ever the odds are against us and l don’t want to adopt

@Tamingofthehamster no children and probably never will be -see my last comment. I want a dressing room, he wants an office, we want a master and spare bedroom

A for me. Because it’s a semi in a nice quiet road, larger plot so alot of potentials!
