We went over on Saturday in J's mum's car. She kindly stayed with the immobile F in the car while we went into the houses. We saw 5, and quite liked 2 of them.
The 2 we liked:
Bungalow with huge garden and 25ft conservatory
But not enough space inside - nearly, but not quite I reckon. Really nicely decorated and completely ready to move into though. And a brand new swimming pool in the garden. Conservatory was lovely, very spacious feel to it. But needed an extra room really.
Older house - very solid and lots of character
But no bath! And no central heating! Hmmmmm. Also traffic noise. And 3 floors, which is good and bad. Very handy for shops and station though. Super fireplaces and feel of older family home. Garden was OK too. Second viewing to be arranged.
The other ones:
This one is in a crap location
Just didn't like it.
This one is too close to a fuck-off huge pylon
Otherwise was OK but nothing special - had two sheds though! Desperately wanted to call the guy TwoSheds.
This one is too small, a bit poky
Lovely silver surfer type lady and her husband, broadbanded up and knowledgable about digital tv and cable ties. Over-loved cat, very fat British blue, on sofa.
Not much detail due to level of care required by sprainy foot girl
