Have your house preferences changed with age?
Discussion
enjoying, as I do, the property pawn page and reading some of the comments about neighbours (generally, yuk!), loads of land (generally, yes please) etc etc I was wondering how your wants/needs have changed.
For us our particular wants have changed drastically since Mrs DG's mother became housebound. No longer was a (semi)large garden of interest and a house needed to be looked with a view being able to future-proof. Added into the idea of future-proofing was the idea that neighbours might actually be a good idea (from someone living in the SE that's hard to say!!) and who on earth wants to maintain an acre (let alone multiples of!). Is there room to be able to instal a lift should you become infirm? Another issue is size of house, no longer 'need' more than 3 bedrooms - don't really want more than 5... etc etc
So, has age changed your ideal house and if so how?
