This bungalow is the place we have almost bought twice! Last March it came on the market & we viewed & put an offer in. Our house was up for sale & we got an offer....all systems go!
The lady owner who was then in a nursing home died so the bungalow went to probate.
After seven weeks our buyers house sale fell through so back to square one.
Then came Brexit & no one dared to be buying houses!
Then came Christmas & bungalow was off probate but the garden plans weren’t right...off to land registry!
We went to NZ & came back to COVID....we decided our house would take ages to sell so withdrew from buying bungalow!
It was promptly under offer again!
Four months later & our house is under offer again with a positive sale.
The owner of bungalow contacted us on Thursday saying he had put it back on the marker & were we interested so we snapped it up!!
I know the poor thing looks in bad nick at the moment but in six months time you won’t recognise it hopefully! We are going to extend & reroof etc so hopefully will end up with an age proof home we can enjoy.
A large south facing garden which we love, very overgrown & plans to extend & modernise the house so a project!
The top photo was taken from half way down the garden.
Three good things:
1. All 365 friends for sticking with us over the long months of house selling...fingers crossed third time lucky!
2. Jack is coming to visit tonight bringing fish & chips & showing us his new car.
3. The most important GT is that Cathys cat Gus was hit by a car in the night. She took him to the vet with what looked like a broken leg. After a £500 X-ray they discovered he had a crack on his pelvis which is not in the movable part & should heal itself....just antibiotics prescribed but poor boy is very sore.
This is exciting news. As it turns out the bungalow was meant to be yours! Will be fun to keep up with your renovations on 365. Congratulations all around. Perseverance wins every time.
What a great story about the house. It will be good to have a project to work on, especially for Harry as he gets used to downsizing. Jack will be excited about his new car. Thank goodness Gus will mend - an expensive exercise having to have an X-ray!
Thank you all for your interest & comments! Have had a lovely evening with Jack so excuse me not commenting on yours tonight, will catch up tomorrow! X
How exciting for you - just shows - whatever will be will be! Lot of lawn for mowing but nice big windows for the sun to shine through! Poor little Gus - he should be kept inside at nights!
Oh Pat how exciting. I was thrilled when I woke up this morning and read this. Fingers crossed all will go well this time, you have had quite an ordeal. It must have been meant to be.
Sorry to hear of Gus and his mishap. There is one of his lives gone. Still got 8 more though.
@maggiemae Well yes Maggie perhaps but in the UK we tend to put the cats out at night....lazy little beggar sleeps all day & wants to go on the prowl at night....he is under quarantine for two weeks but Looks a bit battered but ok.
@onewing We are quite excited but trying to be sensible...nothings sure until it’s all signed up on the dotted line! Surely third time lucky Babs!
I shall show you stage by stage of the development ha ha.
Sad news for Gus, but glad he will heal.
Oh poor Gus .. heal fast.. enjoy your F&C's
My sister sold her house some weeks ago; she already found a new and she'll move to her new home next month..
