I thought one of you might like this property. Its amazing what you can get for the money. I dont think they had a stager when they took the photographs. We have an estate agent we contacted who sent us this property. I am not sure how much money he thinks we have. From a distance it looks really nice but close up it looses it charm. The new roof would cost a small fortune. I really should get in touch with him and tell him we are not interested in buying at the moment. But I did notice thats lots of property had new prices listed. Some down quite a bit.

I dont look at many of the houses as I am not ready for that step yet and by the time we move they will probably be sold many are still out of our price range but I am sure they are helpful for those who are on their way home soon.
No Problem. Being on the West Coast I am usually posting after almost everyone else has gone to bed so I am used to talking to myself . I always feel bad that all of my posts end up in a row rather than intermingled.

I haven't even listed my house yet so have no idea when I will be returning to the UK but I do find it useful to take a look at the properties and keep in touch with what is available at what price and in what area. It's sort of a geographical education. A bit of window shopping to help me decide what area I would like to live in.

At the moment I am looking around Salisbury. I have always enjoyed that "City in the Countryside" and I like the location.

Bandrui, have you thought of Bath - I have been spending a fair bit of time looking around this beautiful area and the views from many properties are fabulous!

I KNOW, and the more I look the more excited I get... and my move is still a year or two away. I was expecting Bath to be out of my price range, but have been pleasantly surprised. The countryside is spectacular but the city is beautiful, I love those old 'crescents'!

Second to last time I was passing through Bath I had such a lovely time. I found a little Olde Worlde pub and they were so friendly in there... you know, the kind of pub that really represents England at its best.
Glad to hear property isn't through the roof and it's good for access even to London by train.
Yes, I love those old crescents too.

Yes I think I must stop cleaning the shower while I am taking a shower. I inhale all those scrubbing bubbles and my feet take on a very strange look. But very clean

Now if I had a lot of extra cash that could be made so beautiful and lots of room for a garden too. I think it needs a re-thatch too but you are right on with the sort of thing I am looking for.
