Thanks; not Kent, but on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Another couple of shots...in case anyone's interested.

Interesting that you've used the agents photos rather than taking one of your own.

Should I have credited Fine & Country for the photos? It wasn't looking quite so good in February when I posted.

Sorry if you're a pro photographer and this goes against the grain.

Just for Zoon. Does that make you happier? Now you can see why I used the agent's photos.








Note to self; better tidy that garden. Can't believe how much it's grown in a year...

I think the garden looks fantastic in your later shots. Granted, you cant see the house as well, which i guess is the idea of the thread, but the garden looks great.

1970s drab I suppose but its a good size having been extended at the back. A 3 car drive (at a pinch) and a car port which leads through to a large garage. Used to be a double garage until I converted a third of it into my office/studio. Still have a decent garden space at the back looking out over open country too.

Not palatial by any means but its big enough for the 2 of us and its quiet.

See,you might find it drab but (no offence to others houses)I prefer that to most on here,I hate old fireplaces,parquet flooring,period features,really high ceilings etc.

Some really nice houses on here.

This is ours, 1850's originally and been extended over the years. Not very PH as no garage and just off road parking for 1 car. The hedge looks very scruffy as blew down in a storm, only now fully grown again after 4 years.

Yes, that's really the type of house I like. This and Oscar India's are both super, but then I notice you're in Nottingham & Oscar's is in the North East if you will.

That's rather pleasant.

..........Not our main residence you understand, just our little weekend place in the country.

Thank you, it's taken a lot of blood, sweet and tears to get it to this stage. Only the main bathroom to do now really and turn the junk/dumping room into a kids play room.

Both fair points. But I actually prefer old fireplaces and period features! But I've lived in places like that and the space and views here sold it to me.

I do too, our place was built in 1886 with large fireplaces in every room. It also has huge single pane windows. I feel like I'm part of the cast of game of thrones come Autumn......... "Winters Coming"

Something more welcoming about houses like that I think. When we first bought an Edwardian terrace I actually bought Period Living magazine for the first 2 years... Something about a house with "history". My wife now wants an "old fashioned" kitchen (with dresser, farmhouse table, Belfast or London sink etc) when the 8 year old modern one starts to get shabby. I keep telling her it won't REALLY suit the house...

Not totally our yet but all in solicitors hands and should be in by end of the month/start of September.
Will update with own photos once in.

That's fascinating, which part of the country are you? I love the pixelated roof

[clarkmagpie]

Technically classed as crowfoot gable but I think I'll use your term for it, bring it into the modern era!
Carlisle, Cumbria.
Part of a lovely little development of converted stables.

Isn't that the manor at Longleat?

[daytona365]

That's right, it is. We let the Marquess stay there sometimes.

We've got just under an acre. First purchase was a ride on grass cutter.
