We might have a house

We put in a conditional offer on a house that we both really liked, and it has been accepted! We still need to get a building inspection done and finalise the mortgage details, but hopefully there won't be any big problems. So I'm going to go right ahead and tell you all about it.

Here's the blurb:

Check the very private 930sqm section, huge garage and classic three bedroom home. In a busy world where there is little privacy, this could be your own leafy retreat complete with generous conservatory and spa bath. Finesse with a decor upgrade and a gentle touch to create your own paradise. Our owner is keen to downsize property and move on, so act quickly for this great chance.

Fabulous 3 bedroom home with super large lounge area plus gas heater, open plan through to dining and kitchen area, plus off the large lounge there is a huge conservatory with spa then from the conservatory it flows out to the spacious decking facing out to the north west - this area is absolutely private and sunny an ideal situation for summer barbeques, good fencing provides security for children and pets. To the rear of the fence there is a space previously used as a vege garden.

By fabulous they really mean "built in the 70s and never updated, but has potential". But the garden really is huge and sunny, and we're both very excited at the thought of a vegetable patch, especially with grocery prices going the way they are.

There is a really big double garage at the front, and the house front door is round the back, which is a bit strange but not a problem, I suppose.


There's a big conservatory with a spa bath built in, and a wooden deck in front of that, perfect for summertime lounging about.

The garden is huge, and very private. We only saw one two-storey house within viewing distance, and their view is largely blocked by the garage.


No pictures of the inside, but just imagine everything looking really dated looking, with lots of wallpaper and fake-looking (or indeed fake) wood, and you'll get the gist of it. If this offer goes through, we have a lot of work ahead of us!!
