money and job relocation is not a issue at all. I would love to live in a rural cottage.Like this

In my mind I think of somewhere quiet & remote. Something like a lovely big house with large windows & stunning sea views in Devon or Cornwall.

However, I also hate driving on single track roads & everywhere being at least a 1 hour drive away 😁. So my budget would need to include a chauffeur as a minimum.

Possibly the Algarve. I've never been to Portugal but from what I've heard it's lovely.

Infusionist · 02/06/2023 12:20

Bloomsbury. If given the choice I would never leave some 1!

LadyEloise1 · 02/06/2023 12:24

By the sea in Ireland.
Being greedy now Smile but also a place with sunny weather abroad. Possibly Florida.
Or the Canaries.

A modern villa with swimming pool in grounds overlooking countryside and an expensive village/town with a train station that is walkable and near the sea...think that covers all bases 😃

Daffodillyb · 02/06/2023 12:35

I always think I’d like a remote place but the thought scares me a bit due to a few health issues.

it’s a dreamy cottage though op!!

I think my dream place backs onto somewhere woody so that I get plenty of bird sounds but then I also love a sea view!

MadEyeMoodysEye · 02/06/2023 12:36

A lovely, leafy part of London, like Hampstead.

Howtohideasausage · 02/06/2023 12:37

I’m torn between zone 1 London, a massive house in Hampstead or by the sea somewhere.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 02/06/2023 12:39

North Devon. There’s a house overlooking Staunton Sands that I have long had my eye on*.

When I was a teenager, I used to look at a house in Chipping Campden on my way to school every day, and knew that it was destined for me. Sadly, I doubt if I could even afford the garden wall.

*Not that Grand Designs one.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 02/06/2023 12:40

Saunton, not Staunton.

😂😂I think we are the same person 😂

Somewhere like this! Of course I live in a sun-tropical part of Australia with weather similar to bloody Florida…

@HollyFern1110 I can totally relate to narrow roads, sea view would be lovely.

Yours op but by the sea in Dorset. And a small flat in Islington.

dempseyb · 02/06/2023 13:14

A chateau in France or a modern pad in Miami

ComtesseDeSpair · 02/06/2023 13:42

I’d have an apartment in the Barbican, one of the P2B Types overlooking the lake and inner gardens.

There's a house on the river by The Globe that used to belong to Southwark Cathedral. Five bedrooms, big walled garden and parking. It sold a few years ago for 5 million. That.

wowie69 · 02/06/2023 13:54

In a spacious house with open views over a beach in Devon (or any lovely bit of coast really). But I'd want it to be a beach that doesn't get overrun with holidaymakers, not at the end of a single track road, and walking distance to a great pub that does a fabulous Sunday roast.

I think some friends of mine have the perfect mix. They have a big country farmhouse (6 bedroom) with pool and outhouses in a beautiful area about 1h 30 from London. They have a flat in Belgravia. And they have a huge villa in the Caribbean, overlooking the sea.

They made more money during the property boom in London than they ever did in their day jobs…

beguilingeyes · 02/06/2023 14:18

This is it.

That’d suit me down to the ground. Lovely house in a lovely location. 😛

outdooryone · 02/06/2023 16:17

I already live here. Mountains visible from garden, beaches up the road, lovely community, amazing nature and recreation, good job, reasonable house prices, train nearby. It is just north of Stirling.
