What's wrong with this property(ies)?

Mickefield is bl00dy awful, I don't even like driving through it. Try Hazlemere and out that way.

I need a closish proximity to the station, I will be commuting. Hazlemere isn't cheap, Beaconsfield is very expensive. Amersham commute takes an hour just to get into London (with Wycombe trains 25minutes from September, I would be stupid to go from Amersham).

I'm not saying Micklefield is a luxury place to live but I am a FTB with £175k to buy, no way am I going to get anything like that after Amersham Road.

--- edit ---

Rightmove has 1 property in the Hazlemere area for less than £175k. It's a 1 bedroom flat. For old people.

That's the price to have the outside roof surface stripped and refelted.

Nooo sorry I meant which bit for you is ugly, the outside square box shape, or the inside crappy gas fire place or both?

Ah:rotfl:. The outside is hideous.:( The fireplace is nothing compared to the one in our house:D.

Yeh they can't proceed yet. The EA said their houses (the ones with the offer) have put their houses up for sale but can't seem to sell them.

That sounds like it is a rubbish market to me then!

Micklefield isn't THAT bad, Totteridge is worse. No chance anywhere else that's nearish the station. Downley is a no-no. Cressex I could handle, Booker too far away. Easy of Wycombe generally is the only place to go, Loudwater and Wooburn too far away.

Castlefields?

I used to live in a cul de sac which backed onto Castlefields, technically it was Booker, but my next door neighbours used to put Sands on their address as they thought it was better.

Ha I used to work with a few people at Domino's who lived there (Whitelands Road area), nice enough people but I still wouldn't want to live there. Parts of Booker I can deal with, but no chance with all the fuss of the stadium move, I will wait to see what happens before considering Booker.

THIS HOUSE

Yes it might be next to the station.... but the train runs round the back of it, and it's tiny, and ugly, and old

The house I like might be ugly for others but it's not small rooms, unlike every other house under £175k in Wycombe ha.

I agree the original boxes are horrendous.

Your second house, which looks roughly 19th century, is less horrible.

I don't know why you describe the second as "tiny" and the ugly house as having "not small rooms". Back of a fag packet says ugly is smaller! The second bedroom in the tiny house is bigger than the second in the ugly house, for a start.

Fag packet sums (in sq.feet):

Ugly house

Living room: 210
Kitchen: 83
Bed 1: 132
Bed 2: 99
Total - 524

Tiny house

Living room: 139
Kitchen: 59
Dining room: 130
Bed 1: 121
Bed 2: 125
Total - 574

Plus, they are both in High Wycombe. Which I loathe and detest, because I went to school there (-:

The second house being the terraced house one? The thing I disliked about that is that the railway runs at the back of it.... now I know trains get quieter nowadays, it's still not what I want. But I see your point about the room sizes.

Nothing wrong with the schools in Wycombe, apart from RGS which should burn to the ground (JHGS is 100000x better )

And yes I'm still not 100% on Wycombe, all my friends are here so it's difficult to choose something not in Wycombe, but still nearby enough I can go out on weekends, but affordable.
