Hi all

My DH and I are looking to buy a new build house. Never had a new build before. Always older properties.

We have seen two properties today:

1st is a bit smaller- 1257 sq ft for £500,000
It essentially has 3 medium size rooms downstairs- kitchen/diner same size roughly as ours now. Lounge and an extra family room. The bedrooms upstairs are all a good size and similar size to what we have now.
1st photo. This house comes with carpets, curtains and integrated appliances.

The 2nd is 1400 sq ft for £530,000
It has a really large kitchen/diner while width of house
Smaller lounge.
It also has an open plan hallway and open room which is described as a dining area but in the show home they had it set up as a study. Decent size bedrooms upstairs and slightly bigger bathroom and en-suite. Also a larger hallway with full height ceiling which is a feature. Carpets extra and the appliances are extra.

Both are detached houses and we are gaining a garage which we don’t have now.

I will attach a picture of layout. Can you tell me which one you prefer?

Definitely the second one. Larger and more interesting layout.

I prefer the 1st, open plan trend is starting to wain and its nice to have doors you can close to shut out noise and smells.
