Which of the following houses do you like best?

This is just for fun really, as we've not yet got our own house on the market, so I'm still at the "keeping an eye on what comes on the market" stage.

This is pretty much the entire selection within our price range in a village that we a seriously considering. I can see merits in all of them, and downsides in all of them...I do have one clear favourite and I just wonder if everyone else agrees...

    Can I ask you guys what you are basing your answers on? Is it just a gut "I like this one best" or are you weighing up the price and space in the decision too?

    Interesting that everyone seems to be veering towards 1 & 4 at the moment.

    (oh and I've looked at the pics of house 5 quite a few times, and had never noticed the kitty - good spot!)

    I count maybe three cats and one human in house 5! :eek:

    Also, I've just said which I like the look of ... I wouldn't be able to afford any of them right now (maybe in a few years' time!) and would need to give more consideration to whether all furniture would fit, where the piano would go, if I could use one of the rooms as a study... whether the additional money was worth it ... if I could convince OH to maintain all the outdoor space!

    I'd calculate which one had the biggest floorspace for the money too, as part of the decision making.

    I'd definitely want a garage, especially at that price.
