    Fantastic news!
    That garden's perfect for the MSE Houses Board meet up which you're sure to be holding at, say, Easter.

    Room for us to bring tents and park.

    Good spot!

    congratulations! :beer: ... does the property need much work doing? or just a few licks of paint?

    Thanks :o

    We'd really like it to be ours as it's perfect but it's a little way from us. The in-laws are talking about making the move to a bungalow, so if we could persuade them on the area and having us close :confused: I'm also worried about us and our kids scaring the neighbours, but I admit I'm totally smitten.

    The garage and stables we plan to convert into a kitchen and a huge living room and turn the current living room and kitchen into the master ensuite. Hopefully we can build a detached garage for 'Mini' Doozer on some more garden that you can't see in the photos.

    Yeah, nice one buddy.

    You can see the Severn and it's normal weaving course, just about. You can then see the main road running through on the right hand side of even the flooded river. Our house is up a hill to the right of that.
