  • So I’m waiting for a call from TMH

    I’m not sure they even bought it to live in - seems to have been used as a location shoot. They’ve split out the extra barn as far as I can tell and have added £200k to boot.

    The commute is fine - I can work 10-5 on those days to see my daughter at start and end of day. The cost isn’t cheap but 🤷‍♂️ is what it is I suppose.

    I’m not 100% sold on the area and I do really like where we live but there is some pluses to living there and I like the idea of kids growing up in the countryside like I did.

    Location, location... what's that third word again?!

    How close would you be to a decent flat white? Or a great pastry?

    If I had to drive to either of those I'd be out.

    This is absolutely key isn't it. You need to work out what it is that's important to you at that stage of your life. Bread, coffee, a nice pub.

    Back when I was young and pretty, the baseline criteria I had for moving into a place was whether you could obtain all the ingredients for a mojito at 4am. Everything else was details.

    Give it a few years and there'll be a run on houses which are conveniently close to osteopaths and ear-hair removal facilities. Decent investment opportunity there. Get in on the ground floor is my advice.

  • Eventually this would be the country house so not and either or 😉 - and I’m pretty handy with the home espresso these days
