Thanks guys, just had a little sleep on it, and realised it has nothing I was actually looking for, and yet it has everything! I wanted french doors from the kitchen to the garden, or at least from the lounge like we have now, but because it turns into a house at the back (coz of the hill!), if you had french doors you'd have a big drop from the lounge, coz it's like the lounge is on the first floor, but then you get the fantastic view of the woodland out the back there.
The kitchen is rather small and square, but we'd rip all that out anyway, and then there's just a door to the side which leads down to the garden via long steps. I love the big, square rooms, instead of the long narrow type, even the bedrooms are large and square and very light, both at the front, and there we were wanting 3, this has only two!
Dave will at last have his longed for double garage, that's integral around the back underneath the house so he'll be happy, and I'm going to be more than happy not having to throw the dogs in the car to go on a walk, it's only a matter of a few yards up the road to that public footpath onto those fields and woods, that's the best bit for me!
I can't seem to post a link to street view, but if you punch in Gorselands Sedlescombe, you have to go right to the end of that road, then turn right and get right to the very top of the close where it circles, where there is a ring of bungalows, then you'll see that little path which takes you to the footpath at the very top. Can't say which one it is yet (until it's ours lol!). I still can't get over the price of this place, I honestly don't think we'd find this much for our money anywhere in the Country, but of course, they just want out, nothing to buy, they just need the money, shame really, but our gain I think!
I'm going to have to have a real, hard think about how much to reduce our own house by coz we were adamant we wouldn't drop below £340, but if needs must then so be it, all relative really isn't it!
Can't wait for Monday now, better do some serious cleaning tomorrow methinks!
