When to downsize – that was the query after Colin died. I might have liked to remain at Clay Cottage however it simply had too many issues ready to occur and the by no means ending driving all over the place obtained an increasing number of annoying as soon as I used to be alone.
Plus there’s the truth that one individual simply does not want an acre of land to look after and a giant council tax invoice each April.
So when I discovered that there have been so few homes on the market as a result of yr of covid and people who have been on the market have been fetching a very good value and promoting shortly I put the home available on the market and it is sale was agreed so quickly that I needed to discover one thing else at once.
I would beforehand joked with the household that I might purchase one of many new builds in Bacton, as a result of they have been deliberate for a subject conveniently in between the store and the docs with a pub simply over the street and the village corridor 200 yards away. However nobody knew after they can be began. I checked out new builds within the village the place son and household stay however the first rate sized homes have been costly and the entire property appeared very squashed collectively plus the homes I preferred had large bushes on the again.
So I gave up in search of new and determined I did not really want a home with 4 bedrooms, and after half a dozen homes, I discovered this bungalow in one of many villages I used to be joyful to maneuver to.
| Explaining why I am shifting the en-suite to the entrance of the bungalow as a rest room that you could’t use when the electrical goes off is simply foolish |
Promoting then was a very good transfer as a result of since then the 80 homes on the property between store and docs in Bacton have been began and they aren’t constructing any bungalows and the two bed room houses are promoting for a similar value as this bungalow was a yr in the past!
There’s one other small property in Bacton additionally being constructed simply across the nook from the primary one and there a 3 bed room bungalow is promoting for £100,000 extra than I paid for this place and it is not so massive.
Look how small the Residing/Eating room is.
I am glad I did not look ahead to them to begin constructing in Bacton and picked a very good time to promote in order that it labored out nicely in the long run.
Again Tomorrow
