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.

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). -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)

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. |
