Right - !!!!!! first.....
About 10 years ago (pre house from hell, just.....) we looked around a development - a conversion of an old victorian hospital. OH particularly liked the chapel, but they had no plans for the development of that building at that time. When they did develop it, the price tag was silly-high.
Today it is in the paper.......empty......and silly-low price. Click here and you will see what I mean.
In many ways it seems daft not to at least go and look at it again - it would be within our reach even with the debt at the level it is, if we could achieve a quick sale on ours. HOWEVER, it does not tick absolutely all boxes as it has no garage, parking might be an issue, etc, which means that it is not totally dream house.

Longtime lurker and admirer here! I say go look at that lovely house! I would def consider doing what you suggest re mortgage ,as you then could relax your short term mega -debt busting and settle into simply one bigger long term mortgage payment in that beautiful house,garage or not!:D0

There is a bit of parking, but nowhere for a garage.......which means no where to store all the millions of skis (and all the other crap) we have.....Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Oooh, that's gorgeous. Is there any access to that land behind in a car? Could you build a garage there a bit to the side? My uncle did something similar and it's working brilliantly.Please call me 'Pickle'
