So a 1950s brick built bungalow wasn't what I imagined would end up being our first family home.
But with our modest budget we had seen enough 80's low-ceiling houses, 70's boxes and Victorian money-pits.
On paper it ticked many of our needs:
- Three okay sized bedrooms
- Potential to extend
- A drive with garage
- A decent sized garden
I'm not in love with it. Yet. There's PVC everywhere, built-in wardrobes and a garden that needs a lot of work. But I feel it's an honest house that needs a bit of love and work to be a great house.
We pick up the keys tomorrow!
