About

we have been trawling the local housing stock to see if we can find our dream house. Here it is! We’ve found it! 5 bedrooms, study, conservatory, detached house, garage, close to schools, near the post office and shops, but off the main road tucked away at the bottom of a small cul-de-sac. Perfect! Off we go to try to raise enough money, and to our surprise and delight we find that we can just about manage it financially, so down goes our reservation fee and the house is reserved in our names. (This was Monday 27th June 2005). We have decided to part-ex our existing house with our builders, Espirit Homes, to prevent build-up of a chain and enable us to get on with the move without hindrance. We have never lived in a modern house before, I have only ever lived in Victorian, Georgian, or pre-war houses previously, so this is a whole new ball game for me.
