DP and I currently live in a lovely village with DC 18 months, we have a 2 bed semi that we have put so much work into with a good garden, very local park and good local primary school however, the house is proving to be too small for a growing family. We had thought about extending but this would take a lot of our garden space and we really do use the garden a lot. The thing with the village we live in is there’s no in between from a 2 bed semi to a 4 bed detached for 650k which we do not have
There is a 3 bed semi in the next village that needs a lot of work however, has a huge driveway, a big garden and has a lot of potential for rear and side extension. The primary school would mean driving to school rather than walking, the park is not as local but there is a lot of fields and walks local to the house. Something about the village doesn’t feel like as much of a village as where we currently live but I don’t know if that’s just the sentimental attachment to where we live now. Overall our toddler would gain a play room, and so much more outside space, and we would have more space for a growing family
With what we would make on our home we should have enough for renovations. Would you move out of a village you love for more space?
