What does your house look like?
Discussion
After living for 8 years from 21 in a new build 3 storey townhouse with paper walls we sold up in summer 2014 and finally bought an old properlly built detached house just before Xmas after a lot of searching. The peacefulness is worth the heating bills.

4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, 80ft rear garden, extension to the rear and large parking area out the front.
Caravan has gone (was the previous owners), needs a lot of work inside: So far, re-done the family bathroom and decorated my little boy's room.
Plan:
- Replace three windows upstairs (Landing and two rear bedrooms)
- Have chimney taken out and re-plaster rooms upstairs
- Extension on the front (remove porch and come out roughtly to the bottom step) and replace all windows at the front
- Re-render the house
- Loads of other bits and bobs

Inside wise we've gone for a front door opening into the lounge, to re-instating the hallway:

Lovely property. It's not in Kent is it? There's a house strikingly similar to this not 10 minutes from where I live...as a hopeful first time buyer this year, you guys have given me some real inspiration! Just need to find the right place to start amassing my property empire! ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
