Lottery house daydreaming

[SaraJH]

I do this a lot

I've been searching r1ghtmove this evening, window shopping only of course. What house would I buy if I won the lottery.

I think that my perfect house would be on the North Yorks Moors, isolated but about a mile or so from a village, need a pub within walking distance

Character house, 3 bedrooms, fabulous views (no 1 priority) and 1/2 acre garden in which I could have a decent veggie plot plus space for the dogs to run around in.

500k or 50 mil, that would be the house for me.

What about you guys?

Anywhere without a slug.......................

other than that Malta or Gozo, 3 beds, terraced garden, pool and views to die for.

[SaraJH]

Ooh that sounds lovely Lumpy, not sure that I could cope with the heat all summer though. How ridiculous is that!

[Lumpy]

Nor me but I would love the chance to find out.

If I won mega bucks I'd have my little house here, in North Yorks and I'd also buy a little pad in the Carribean!

And perhaps a mega yacht lol

I would like to think I wouldn't move. I would however get some things done like rebuild the kitchen (it has a grotty wrap round utility lean to thing and I would rather knock it into one and lose the ceiling as it is a room we use but then shut the door on as it is not very nice ), new carpets throughout, new windows throughout (I miss having little windows to open) and rebuild the garage so it was a chalet (1.5 story) type building. It would probably be cheaper to move

I'm happy where I am with my little house. Dull I know but although I love to explore or travel I like the fact that my home is my home to come back to.

[Tripmeup]

Happy where I am as we only built it 5 years ago..but still doing stuff to it...Only got gates this week...

Would not mind a nice holiday home in Portugal tho...

I wouldn't move at all either. Lots of jobs I'd like to do but I love my house and garden even though it's still mainly a building site (garden that is) the vibes here are great

[SaraJH]

I love the fact that some grapes are happy with their houses, that's just how I would like to feel. Our house is perfect apart from it doesn't have views.

3 years ago we moved from The suburbs of London and we were rushed into buying as we never expected our house to sell so quickly. I love our now house and garden but I just don't have my country view and I can't walk to the pub from here!

If I could lift and shift our house, that would be brilliant!

Built ours 10yrs ago, lovely out here now, best place ..winter tad bleak.
Love the coast . Ideally would like somewhere with no neighbours

We don't want neighbours, we are unsociable buggers!

[vixylix]

No neighbours, a big garden and on the coast. Heaven

HAHA! All you lucky people who love where you live!

If I won the lottery, even a modest amount, you wouldn't see me for dust!
I'd be out of London...possibly even out of England...before the ink on the cheque was dry

Somewhere rural, possibly Devon or Cornwall but more likely the south of France.
Farmhouse made of stone with three foot thick walls, lots of outbuildings (where relatives can stay/live) workshops and a Dutch barn.
I'd quite like a moat but willl settle for a spring fed stream.
I'll need at least five acres, one or two of which to be woodland (for all my woodburners and my aga that I'll have) where my piggies and goats will roam.

There'll be a village a mile or two away and I will travel there (occasionally) in my pony and trap. I'll be the happy hippy hermit on the hill.

I've given this quite a bit of thought

I love my house, because it was the place that rescued me out of a bad relationship/bad break up, and because it's large without being expensive, with heaps of character and I have lots left I'd like to do to it. Howeverrr.......
if I won lots of money, I'd buy a couple of huge fields not far from here, around Caistor, which is in a large valley (think Aylesbury vale but smaller). I'd self build an energy efficient house, have a smallholding to look after, sell my business and just do that. I might build a few yurts or cottages to rent out as a hobby more than anything.... Maybe keep some animals for meat, I'd build a smoker, pizza oven and all sorts. Actually, come to think of it, I could do quite a lot of this if I sold my house
