Finding a property with a Big Garden
Have you considered having a separate house and garden, or indeed flat and garden? A flat doesn't have to be in the middle of a city; quite often you get houses in small villages which are divided into flats. You might be able to find some land for sale and somewhere to live within walking distance. My own searches suggest that less than 10000 gets you a pretty decent amount of land even down South. This is the option that I am considering now because unless you move abroad, you can then always keep the garden when you move. (The problem for me is my cats.) And yes, moving abroad is I guess the ideal as someone said - we need to get out of this horribly overcrowded country - but then one needs a job there or to be retired. :--( Warwick Dumas "Drakanthus" wrote in message ... Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if there any properties out there for sale with big gardens that don't cost a fortune i.e. less than 120k? We don't care about the type or state of the property - even a semi derelict will suffice. By the standards of most modern properties we have a large garden, but it has been bursting at the seams for some time, so we have now put our property on the market simply to find a property with a bigger garden - ideally 1/4 acre upwards. Nightmare trying to find anywhere though. We want to move to anywhere within 30 miles of either the South coast of England or Cornwall, Devon or South Wales, but none of the online property web sites have a search criterion for "Big Garden". Trying to find the addresses of estate agents in all these areas is proving tricky - it seems the larger the estate agent the less easy they are to contact by email - and I am reluctant to phone over 300 estate agents! Short of having our brains lobotomised to remove our passion for gardening, I am open to any advice or suggestions - anyone? -- Drakanthus.
