Budget £850k tops. Has to be detached. 3. Bed min.
Can have work need doing to. Need a mortgage on it though so can’t be falling apart.

much prefer old period homes my favourite period being Georgian. Prefer rural to town but has to have ok internet.
would love a big garden. Huge garden would also be welcome. Would also like at least one big reception room for entertaining.

not sure why though as I don’t even really do entertaining but imaginary entertaining counts right?!

anywhere within about 2.5 hours commute to London maybe more for the perfect home as only really staying commutable incase anything goes awry with current wfh job!

Yup £850k having such a low budget makes things sooo difficult 😂 no choice whatsoever

These are great I am working my way through them. Annoyingly I am now also nursing my way through a bad cold though at least I can look through these lovely houses.

it’s nice to see things from a different perspective to my own as well as I do tend to get stuck in the detail before I’ve even seen the bigger picture!
