The house search continues.
I've now found this cottage - renovated but the layout needs work. Maybe this is my compromise?
According to current agent, it was listed with previous agents at £375k. Listed with current agent last December. Reduced with current agent from £335 to £325k in March 2022.
Current layout is all wrong upstairs. Three of the four bedrooms are tiny. The only bathroom upstairs is the en-suite.
Garden is huge.
The parking arrangement is through a purchase of land at end of garden of neighbour opposite as developer knocked down wall of garden to make way for driveway without planning permission and planners now refuse to consider application for driveway (developer has applied 3 times). Space for 2 cars but only one half has been finished, rest is a dumping ground of rubble.
Previous listings state house is Grade 2 listed but current listing doesn't mention this.
I would love your thoughts, advice, ideas (please be kind!)
