We did it, we moved!
Moving was put off because of going to the US but the minute we got home we started talking about where and when.
We did it the wrong way round. We started looking before we’d sold, which has put us in the awkward but v posh position of being a two house family!
When we started looking I had a list of requirements – some very serious and some not so…
Near a train station
Small town or village
Local pub / shop / takeways
Has a nice stairway
Has window sills
Started in Thatcham, looked in Newbury and then went for dinner at friends in Burghfield Common. Loved it! As we were driving home we saw there was a house for sale on their road. Didn’t like that one but turn up for the books – looks like we could afford the area.
Saw a few and then found “The One” (TO). Ben doesn’t believe in TO but doing the pro/con list of the three we’d seen in one day made him realise he loved it too.
So here we are – our little happy family in Burghfield Common and look! Holding out for the right window sills was worth it.
