The saga continues for us....
I have seen an amazing garden flat in the right area. 3 bedrooms (one really huge one and two good sized doubles). 1 ensuite bathroom, one family bathroom, large double sized reception room leading through to open plan dining room leading to massive kitchen. Utility room. Amazing 100ft garden (and about 25foot wide too!). All done up to an amazing standard - granite work surfaces, oak wood floors, etc. Unsuprisingly, it is over budget by about 100K. We could just about stretch to it with mortgage and possible a bit of family money. Importantly, it has the option of having a fourth bedroom by dividing up the really large one with a partition wall. So we could stay there long term.
Or....we could get a garden flat on the same road that is also nicely done up. But it has the three bedrooms without the possibility of dividing one up to make a fourth. The living space is smaller. No utility room. A nice large garden, but not quite as park like as the other. It costs over £100,000 less than the other though. I just can't see us being able to stay there long term though.
What would you do?
