I went there to give a day's training on some software in 1987.... I remember a chocolate-box village square type of place, with red bricks. Quiet area, easy free parking.neverdespairgirl wrote: »
Plus, they are both in High Wycombe. Which I loathe and detest, because I went to school there (-:

See that lovely water pipe in the living room, see the spectacular wiring in the kitchen. And whoever thought leaving it blue would make it lovely needed medication.0 -

By the Red Lion pub?Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j0 -
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
)
It was you that said the second house, the terraced one, was tiny.
I went to a horrible school in Wycombe, not RGS or JHGS - Wycombe Abbey....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

If you'd made it a couple of years later, I'd have been one of the girls imprisoned behind the high walls in the centre of town.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Yeh that was a bad example....
I shall keep looking, not buying until January at the earliest. Least I now know the flat roofs are bad and square houses are ugly
Ah an Abbey gal, poor you! Stuck in there.0 -

My DS was born in the nearby hospital. 1985Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j0 -
I used to work at Wycombe Hospital, or the Chiltern Hilton as it was occasionally referred to.
Then I went into school nursing. If you think the Grammar schools are bad....0 -

Oh dear. We left Wycombe in 1986 and moved down to Winchester for better housing/schooling etc. Still have friends back there though. Before DS was born, I worked for Wilkinson Sword who had an office just above the station, don't know if they are still there though.Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015.

I wasn't keen on Wycombe Abbey - so I only went there for a couple of years....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
