Do you live in your dream home?

[jazzactivist]

I can't remember if we have had this thread before, but the idea of a dream home and how it means different things to different people really fascinates me. It might be surprising, but my dream home is a small, red brick Victorian terrace with a garden at the front and a yard at the back. I love the colours of old bricks and how they seem to go so well with flowers. I would like two receptions and two bedrooms, one bathroom is fine, and a nice kitchen facing out back into the yard, where I would grow herbs in pots and show off my old gardening tools. I would grow English cottage garden plants and veg in the front garden and spend my days leaning on the wooden gate chatting to passers-by about gardening and the weather. What's your dream home?

The house we live in now is what we planned and almost built together, we designed it, MrC was on building site every single day (owner build) from the start till we moved in, so we are very happy here. I do have visions of a small cottage somewhere in the UK, a Tudor cottage, a Yorkshire cottage will do. It needend be elaborate and over the top, basic but comfortable. An English country garden will do fine, not a large garden, just manageable. A cottage which can live up to this characterful window, or like picture 2 will do nicely thanks .....

My dream home is a typical thatch roofed cottage with a large garden at back and small cottage garden at front with a white picket fence and gate to lean on. It has to be in a village with a village green and duck pond and the sun has to shine every day and rain in the night. All the neighbours have to be friendly but not nosy and there has to be a church with a bell tower so I listen to church bells on a Sunday morning while I am sitting on a swing in the garden.

We live close enough to the church to hear the bells ringing all day and of course during the night as well. When we first came to live here it was strange hearing the bells, but now I actually wait for it to ring. If.

I like the little terraced house we live in. However, if I had the money I would change it around. I would put our kitchen in the back where the sun shines and the lounge in the front where, only a glimmer of sun shines through in the evening. Also, when my Son leaves Uni and finds his own home, I'm planning to have this third bedroom as a Craft room. I would put in a window twice the size of the present one to let the light in.
