Is that a road at the bottom of the garden?0

Rainfall is 1608mm a year, on average. London is 584mm. Are you ready for three times as much rain? Short days in winter? Insects in summer?People live there, so it’s probably fine, but it has drawbacks.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

The main drawback is likely to be the same as any "cheap" house in the country; it is next to impossible to find any sort of work within a reasonable radius. This is what makes them cheap inthe first place.GDB2222 said:Rainfall is 1608mm a year, on average. London is 584mm. Are you ready for three times as much rain? Short days in winter?

JGB1955 said:The garden is far too big for my liking and the heating bills must be astronomical.This would be more like my 'escape to the country' sort of place https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71597260.htmlHow can you have too big a garden?!?! Looks great to me, all that space that is yours, what's not to like (if you like being outdoors.) That grey pebbledash would have to go though, either painted a different colour or replaced with something else.As for your 'escape to the country' alternative... what a modern monstrosity, you literally couldn't pay me to live in a house like that! Just goes to show we all have different tastes.
That may have been an issue in the past but these days, particularly post-coronavirus, remotely working from home is a much more viable option for many people.AW618 said:The main drawback is likely to be the same as any "cheap" house in the country; it is next to impossible to find any sort of work within a reasonable radius.

You'd hate it round here, then...penguineater said:Not enough photos to say for certain although based on the internet speed alone I would have to say NAY!Up to 22.4 Mbps
Various friends past the end of the fibre can only get ~2meg ADSL.
Others can't even get ADSL, and have a straight choice between satellite (ferociously expensive), mobile (if they have a signal - we can't even receive SMS at home), and dial-up.0 -

For work the navy base / Babcock is a large employer 4.5 miles away, and Glasgow is an hour away by car or there is a train station 4 miles away or 67mb Internet for home woring.
But best of all to wake up to that viewif at first you don't succeed then sky diving is not for you.1
