House 3

The third house we looked at was in the town of St. Neot's. The house was just around the corner from a large local grocery store, and within walking distance (3/4 mile) to the town center and a local park.

The front of the house, with 2 car garage.

As you enter, there is a good-sized study on the right side.

The "cloak room" next to the study.

Entry foyer, with front door behind you.

Kitchen with gas stovetop, large ovens, integrated dishwasher, lots of cabinet space.

The long cabinets in the back right are the fridge/freezer. The door on the right leads to the utility room.

The utility room -- has a washer/dryer combo in it currently, somewhat small.

Large "conservatory"/sunroom.


Backyard has a palm tree (?!) and raised garden boxes.

Looking from living room toward conservatory (separated by sliding glass door).

Looking other way in living room.

The "bedroom" at the top of the steps! It is smaller than 8' x 7' and the previous owners were using it as dressing room/closet space, as none of the bedrooms have proper closets in them.

2nd bedroom

Family bathroom

3rd bedroom, which prior owners used as a study but would work as a nursery size-wise.

4th bedroom

Master bath with shower/toilet/sink.

Our little lady liked the height of the windowsills in the conservatory. I have to brag that she has continued to be a great little trooper throughout this whole process! She seemed to like checking out the houses with us. 

Anyway, that's it! At the end of the day, the realtor called and told us one of the houses would be shown 3 more times the next day, one of which was a 2nd viewing. We decided we couldn't pass it up. Which one did we choose??? Guess in the comments section (no fair if you already know, Mom & Dad!) and I'll tell you later :)

  1. Two thumbs up to the kitchens in Houses 1 & 3. Thumbs down to the 'damp' in House 2. Thumbs up to the Conservatory in House 3! Charlotte asked me to give a little thumbs up for the bright border in the bedroom in House 2 and two arms up for the Conservatory windows in House 3 (she would love to mash the computer keys to respond personally but was afraid that the message would be a little jumbled)... You all get four thumbs up from New Hampshire for being such productive troopers through just your first - albeit jetlagged - week in the UK!! Love, Dad & Mom

  3. I'm finding it difficult to guess without the scripted banter following viewing of the third property... It's definitely 1 or 3 (no "damp"!). I was going to say 3 due to proximity of amenities, but I'll say 1 due to proximity of friends...

  4. I vote for 3. Walking distance to a park = major plus. Love the kitchen there too. I'm also intrigued by the palm tree. Know I'm waiting for the doorbell noise and the cheesy music....
