The real solution these days seems to get a house built from scratch.
My wish list includes detached, cellar, double garage with space for a
workshop, large kitchen, and a ground floor study/office, but I only
really want 2 or 3 bedrooms. nobody builds houses like that.

I'm really happy with our house - aside from the garage arrangements.

You've just described my house. Well apart from the cellar. And I
haven't built the garage/workshop yet (but have got the Type 1 down
ready for it).

That's exactly what I have. Only with four bedrooms. And two sitting
rooms. And two dining rooms. And a three-car garage. For about 200k
sterling.
