Would you buy this house?

We have a pretty extensive list of requirements which means that not that many houses that could work for us tend to come up.
We have a small area to search in because of school catchment and proximity to station, we don't want a very busy road because we have 2 cats, we need 4 beds and a decent garden but our budget isn't massive.
We've found a house that ticks all those boxes, on a lovely street. BUT the kitchen is small and DH is really stressed about it. We could move and extend but should we? Or should we keep looking? I can't decide (and neither can he) whether he is stressed because he's not happy with it or because he struggles with making a big decision. If it were just me I'd go for it because other than the kitchen it's great.

If it's a terrace and one with a slightly larger garden then I would just extend to be honest esp if it's within budget and others have done it in the road so planning permits won't be a problem

If it's a nice road and ticks the boxes and it's priced well go, for it before it sells. With the interest rates going down and September coming it may not be around for long !

My partner is like this with houses. I just have to take charge and usually get him to admit he's just anxious etc
