I presume you mean £450k, other wise I will be down in the morning :lol:

5 bed detached with gardens in semi rural Herts/Bucks will set you back at least £700k around here, and if there is any character it just goes up and up :evil:

You can still get a 3 bed terraced house for under £200k in the Medway Towns and Thanet Kent.

Oh well, won't be coming to be one of your neighbours!

Actually it's a bit close to the in-laws (Ashtead) so not good for me anyway :lol:

I was in Dorking this morning and out of interest, glanced in a couple of estate agents window.

The nearest house to the description above, albeit a 4 bed house, double garage AND in a private road was on the market for £725,000.

Interesting fact about Ashtead from the last census. It has more people over 65 years of age as a percentage of the total population than any other town/village in England.

A bit like Worthing or Eastbourne but without the sea.

The company that I worked for for 12 years had a depot in Oakham, yet I never got to visit it !

Acute-on-Chronic Anxiety State

Post by Angela Woodford »

Imagine my wail of agitation when I saw a For Sale Board (same agent) go up in a neighbour's garden!

This house is owned by a single woman - it has been unbattered by a family - new kitchen, new bathroom, new central heating, immaculate and gleaming AND only £7k more than our house...

Oh woe! Woe! What timing.

Only one thing to be done, Angela.

Sell your house, then buy hers!

But...

Post by Angela Woodford »

But Philip, we need to go to Devon. My father-in-law there is counting on me, and will need me soonish!

I can only hope that the Ms Perfect house sells really quickly and then I can hope all over again.

Expecting set of viewers at 14.30 hrs, so 20.30 your time please spin a prayer wheel for me!
